We will support each one of them. They are great but baseline roads infrastructure is still needed to get to work and school. I am someone who uses the bike and the train. I have bought into the Minister's way of thinking and it is a good way of thinking. We are all green and the whole country is becoming green but some baseline infrastructure is still required in Ireland. The Limerick to Cork motorway is one. Another project is a half completed road in County Clare. These projects need to happen and progress. We need to know that within this term of governance and the term that follows because politics will move on and the Minister may or may not be in his post the following term or in a different Department. We do not know what lies ahead but we need to know that during the tenure of the Minister, as the shepherd of the Department who leads transport, that there will not be any block put on any road.
