Eamon Ryan (GP), Dublin Bay South

I say to the Deputy what I said to him the other day. I look forward to going down to Tipperary town, a town I know well and one that needs a bypass. This is a complicated and controversial issue. Many Deputies have concerns about what roads we need to advance quickest. I have said publicly and in this House on many occasions our bypasses are the critical next investment we need to make. The likes of Tipperary town have 30% vacancy on the main street. Beautiful 19th-century market towns should be the centre of town centre first and of new urban regeneration.
It is not just Tipperary town, and we could go around the country to Virginia, County Cavan, where I was last month, Carrick-on-Shannon or Stranorlar and Ballybofey in Donegal.
