Mr. Terence Slowey:

The Good Friday Agreement came into existence and it was transformative. I refer to the North-West Gateway Initiative and now this project, which is a really transformative one, not just for the north west but for the whole island from Dublin all the way up to north Donegal, taking in all of that hinterland through Northern Ireland as well. From economic, social and tourism points of views, it is the critical piece of infrastructure that needs to be put in place and it should be one of our highest priorities. It will not just impact on Donegal, but will impact on the whole economy between Dublin and the north west. It will be a great day's work when we get it done. It will not be done overnight but we really need to get at it. It is long since time that we started to put this in place.
