Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

N52 Ardee Bypass: Discussion

Ms Dolores Minogue:

With regard to what Ms Fitzpatrick said, the community already engaged in this process. It did not need to organise itself because planning permission was given. It wants this bypass and is not against it. I now have people on the cul-de-sac side who are delighted that there is no speeding on the road and that they are in the cul-de-sac. We will upset them and then be back here in five years. I am getting very frustrated and understand where Deputy Fitzpatrick is coming from. We are trying to accommodate people who are already upset. If we can accommodate them, that is brilliant. We will upset people who are looking forward to a cul-de-sac. As a public representative, my mind is boggled with regard to what answer I can take back to my constituency to be able to say that everybody is happy. Nobody will ever be fully happy. Either we build the road or we do not.
