Darragh O'Brien (FF), Dublin Fingal East

In respect of Listry Bridge and other specific issues in the Deputy's constituency, we will take a note as he raises them. I assure him that the figures I have given are real. There are significant increases in funding for new roads and for maintenance and renewal. I agree with him that speedy delivery is key.
The funding provided for the N86 from Tralee to An Daingean is not just for fencing. A total of €1.25 million will be available in 2025 and it would want to be a very expensive fence if that were all we were doing. I assure the Deputy that is not all that we are doing.
As I mentioned, we are advancing the review of the NDP and hope to have it concluded by July or early August. We will have a significant roads programme for the remainder of this decade and 2026, in particular. I can see the funding that is coming along the way. I agree that delivery is key and critical. We want those improvements delivered and our budget expended, which I predict it will be.
