As the Taoiseach knows, the upgrading of the A5 to a dual carriageway from Derry to Aughnacloy is crucial, not just for road safety but for the economic regeneration of the north-west region. The Government committed to co-fund the project under the St. Andrews Agreement. That was withdrawn. With the restoration of the Executive, there is a renewed momentum. The Taoiseach will be aware of the public hearings. We are very hopeful that project can commence this year. Will the Government recommit to co-fund the project to make sure that it is done as soon as possible and with no further delays?
