Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
National Development Plan: Discussion
Cathal Crowe (Clare, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source
I am not having much joy with TII. I refer to a parochial issue, namely, Bunratty on the N18 dual carriageway. The Bunratty local development committee has been awarded Government funding to develop some fabulous trails. It is, as the committee probably well knows, a magnet for tourism. The trails have to be started and completed by a certain deadline because the community is adjacent to the dual carriageway. There is a need for sanction and approval from TII. The development committee has been passed from pillar to post over the past number of weeks.
I ask Mr Walsh, this evening or tomorrow, to intervene in this case to allow this fabulous amenity to be completed and not to have really good positive public money washed aside because deadlines cannot be met.
