Mr. Michael Nolan:

On the N25, we are adding two schemes to our portfolio of schemes going through pre-appraisal this year. There is Waterford-Glenmore and also Carrigtohill-Midleton. We recognise that the dual carriageway section with at-grade junctions seriously requires an upgrade. It is a question of providing proper junctions and proper control. There are also opportunities between Castlemartyr and Killeagh.

It is a question of funding at this stage. We are testing two of the 15 schemes this year to see how they fit with the criteria and priorities of the national planning framework, as well as two of the N25 in that portfolio.
