Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement
Road Network: A5 Working Group
12:05 pm
Mr. Michael Coyle:
There are relationships between the peoples on both sides of the Border, in particular between Donegal and Derry which are very much linked. I am afraid that if the pressure is not kept on it that the north-west will end up in the dark ages again. We need people to continue to put on pressure.
It only took me three hours to get to Dublin this morning. I can remember 40 years ago when I came to Dublin as a youth that the journey took me at least three and a half hours. There is some improvement but there is much more room for improvement.
The cross-Border group very much supports the work of the A5 group. We see it as part of our business to enhance the lives of those within our region.
