Mr. Michael Nolan:

The Senator mentioned the piece of the N60 as far as Claremorris and the N17 up to Charlestown and Tubbercurry and into Collooney. The Tubbercurry bypass scheme is on our books. It has been around for a long time. We are doing some local improvements along the N17, north of Tuam up to the Mayo border. We had plans previously for a north-south bypass of Charlestown. We have done the east-west bypass. That scheme was suspended too due to lack of funding. We have a series of schemes on the N60 but they are short sections and minor projects rather than the route we had 15 years ago, from Claremorris towards Tuam. With the funding constraints we have there will be very little activity on the N60. We have a few minor schemes.
