David Stanton (FG), Cork East

Probably the biggest and longest awaited project in north Cork is the Mallow relief road. The then Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, Deputy Donohoe, gave the go-ahead eight years ago. A total of €1.2 million has been expended and a huge amount of work has been carried out. The next step was to go to An Bord Pleanála, which required €1.4 million this year and that was expected. At the last minute, that funding was pulled. There is consternation, upset, anger and puzzlement in Mallow. Will the Taoiseach find the €1.4 million to allow this to go to An Bord Pleanála, where it will probably languish for another year but at least it will be moving?
