Mr. Dominic Mullaney:

As the Deputy said, there are three parts to it, the Shannon crossing, the Killaloe bypass and the R494 upgrade which links it back to the M7. It is hoped to do it as one project. The preliminary works are being undertaken at present.

At the same time as that, contract documents are being prepared. Once they are ready, they are sent to us. We need to do a final check before they go to tender. It is progressing and there are works going on at the moment.

I will briefly clarify a previous question. Deputy O'Connor asked about a particular section of road. In fact, I think he was talking about the Carrigtohill to Midleton section.
