I am going to stay local and raise the N24 Piltown bypass. As has been highlighted, there have been ten deaths on that small stretch of road. It is a two plus one scheme, with which I never agreed. I objected to it at the time, as a councillor in Kilkenny. We argued that the scheme would not work and we were proved right. It is a two plus one scheme that has been problematic from the very start. The Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport came to see the road this year and to meet local people. What are the plans for that road now? I know that in the longer term it will be part of the Limerick, Waterford connection but what are the plans for the short term?
