Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
National Development Plan: Discussion
Mr. Peter Walsh:
We have contact with the infrastructure service in Northern Ireland. We meet about twice a year and it keeps us updated as to where things are with the A5 project. Our main direct connection with this project is that we have a small project in Donegal that would connect to the A5 when there is a project to which to connect. It has planning approval but we cannot progress it and Donegal County Council cannot progress it until such time as it has somewhere to go. We have not been involved in the Narrow Water bridge project but I know it has come up in discussions because representatives of the Department of Transport attend those meetings. It was not a project we were progressing and I am not kept up to date on what the current thinking is on it. I am sorry I cannot give any more information in that regard.
