Leo Varadkar (FG), Dublin West

We did not actually remove our commitment but we did reduce it substantially on account of the financial crisis that occurred here 12 or 15 years ago. To cut to the chase, the situation is now different. We are in a much better place as a country, financially, and the Northern Ireland Executive and Assembly are back up and running. I had a chance to speak to the Minister, Mr. O'Dowd, about this on my trip to Stormont last Monday. In the next week or two we should be in a position to make a revised financial commitment to the A5. The figure has not yet been agreed by the Cabinet but once it is agreed, we will inform the House.
