Mr. Dominic Mullaney:

Obviously, we have to work within our budgets and only approximately 10% of the regional and local road moneys would go towards new works. If we have of the order of €600 million for roads next year, 10% of that would be €60 million. That is the overall cap we would be working within and we have a number of current projects such as Moyross in Limerick and Athy in Kildare, for which the contract has been signed. Even if there was money available for this project in the morning, there is considerable planning and works to be done before getting it on the ground. The first thing we need is a proposal. We need to know how long it is, where it would go, what the cost would be and so on. We have not received anything yet.
