Border Region Road Links: Discussion with NRA
10:20 am

I welcome Mr. Barry and the NRA. I compliment the NRA on what it has done. The first motorway out of Dublin was to Galway. The road to Galway is excellent, but problems arise when one gets to Galway, where there are serious issues. Where are we with the Galway outer city bypass? My other question is a north-south Galway issue, the Gort to Tuam road, which is part of the Atlantic corridor. This road is very badly needed and is a priority for the NRA. Is the funding in place or are we going by some other route? It is a PPP. If the Minister is coming down to turn the sod, the NRA will also be there. I hope that road will benefit Galway. As I now represent Roscommon, I also hope it will benefit Roscommon.
