Kieran O'Donnell (Limerick City, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

What about dual carriageways? The second objective under the national planning framework is to connect cities. The Minister speaks about the cities growing. Cork, Limerick and Galway must be accounted for. Many of the areas on the route from Limerick to Cork are treacherous, particularly between Charleville and Mallow. Bypasses are needed, but equally we have to address travel time and deal with sections of the road. Is the Minister ideologically opposed to roads? I am trying to understand.
