Covid-19 (Finance): Statements
Dail Éireann — 2020-05-20
============================================================

Paschal Donohoe (FG), Dublin Central

We remain, and I hope the next Government will remain, committed to many of the projects in Project Ireland 2040. We will have to look at allocations for capital and for particular projects, not just because of the direct effect of Covid on where we are but also because of some of the issues Deputy McGuinness has raised. I remain committed to projects that are there, but the new Government will have to conduct a review of where we are with the development plan and look at whether the current level of resources set aside for capital projects is appropriate and whether decisions need to be made in that regard.
I am well aware of the importance of the N4 and how important, on road safety reasons alone, that project is.
