Simon Harris (FG), Wicklow

I thank Deputy Carrigy for that. This is a very important project. It is a strategic corridor from Dublin to the north-west region and the Border counties. The project is about 54 km in length, connecting Mullingar and Westmeath to Roosky in Longford.
The Minister of State at the Department of Transport, Deputy Canney, reminds me that his Department is well aware of this project. The emerging preferred route has now been selected and has closed out of phase 2. The route option selection, however, is ongoing. We will look at this seriously in the context of the review of the national development plan, which is due to conclude around July. Let me be very clear for the Deputy's constituents and people right across the country; this Government is back in the business of building roads.
