Mr. Michael Nolan:

We are down to 20%, so we are 80% short of where we were. That was at the peak, the really high point. There is a great deal of work to be done. We are very conscious of schemes around the country.

In County Kerry, there are two schemes that people from Kerry County Council tell us will have a big benefit to Kerry, namely, the N22 scheme from Macroom to Ballyvourney and then the Limerick-Adare-Foynes scheme. These are two big schemes to deal with bottlenecks in getting to County Kerry. The Macroom-Ballyvourney bypass will go to construction in 2020 or thereabouts. We are at the design stage of the Limerick to Adare to Foynes scheme. We hope to get that to An Bord Pleanála by year end or early next year. We recognise the Adare bypass as one of the last big bottlenecks in the country outside the urban areas.

We have been active in County Kerry in the past few years. Since the recession we have built the Castleisland and Tralee bypasses, two major projects.
