Tenders have been received for the Coonagh-Knockalisheen distributor road and the contract is ready to be awarded. A submission was sent to the Minister on 16 October 2020, recommending that this important regeneration project in Moyross be approved.

There is provision in the regional and local road proposed allocations for national development projects in 2021 to accommodate this project. I can come back to the Deputy on specific roads. It is under the remit of the Minister, Deputy Ryan, as to where they are at. Anything that was announced in budget 2021 is ready to go. The work has been done. They will be under construction in 2021. There is more work to be carried out on the other projects before they are ready to be rolled out. I can come back to the Deputy with specifics on that.
