There was a question on the upgrade of the N59. There was a meeting on the matter attended by the Minister of State, Deputy Kyne, as well as other Oireachtas Members. I can confirm that the experts from my Department are sitting down with the local authority experts. They are trying to find a solution and move this forward.

I understand the frustration of Deputies. The Minister of State, Deputy Kyne, raised this at the departmental management meeting. I realise all Deputies want to get the project progressed. The relevant people are sitting down and they are to find solutions and work their way through what needs to be done.
