Helen McEntee (FG), Meath East

While I am not aware of the exact investment that was allocated in recent weeks, investment in road maintenance and expansion has increased across the board. It is important that this continues to increase and that every local authority gets its fair share. Speed is the number one killer. It is very important that we maintain our roads, which play a key role in keeping people safe. We must do everything we possibly can to reduce speeds on our roads and highlight where changes are taking place. Different changes are taking place throughout the country in reducing speeds. We need to make sure there is investment on both sides, in our roads and in making sure we reduce the speed levels, which contribute to so many of the deaths and serious accidents we have seen.
