Road Projects
Seanad Éireann — 2025-03-05
============================================================

Robbie Gallagher (FF), Labour Panel

I thank the Minister of State for his response. As he said, this particular section of road has been in the national development plan for a number of years. In excess of €5.5 million has been spent on the different phases since 2018. There is a concern that some of the surveys that were carried out in conjunction with this have a shelf life and unless this project is moved on, that funding will be lost because the surveys will be outdated. It is important that this funding is found. It is only in the region of €900,000. If we and this Government are serious about road safety then it is absolutely essential that this road gets funding. Hopefully, when the announcement is made in the coming weeks, the €900,000 needed to progress it to the next phase will be in that allocation.
