Eamon Ryan (GP), Dublin Bay South

I agree that we need to prioritise safety when investing in our road network and, in many instances, that applies to issues such as the surface of the roads. I will sign off on a climate adaptation fund later this week which concerns the protection of road surfaces that have been affected by heavy rainfall and hail events, the sorts of things mentioned by the Deputy. Those are becoming significant issues as floodwaters wash away surfaces and create dangerous driving conditions. I will commit to that. I will ask TII to look specifically at the M7 close to Birdhill in that regard.
