Martin Conway (CC), Administrative Panel

I thank the Minister of State and I thank Senator Gallagher. This is a very important Commencement matter. Coming from a large rural county myself I fully understand the challenges. It is extremely important we maintain our roads because if we do not continually invest in our roads they will just disintegrate and become a much bigger problem going forward. It is important that the investment at least keeps up with inflation and it really should be much better because we are catching up after the years of recession when there was very little scope within the roads budget.
