That is fine; I will not even need it. Some of this might be slightly repetitive so the witnesses might bear with me.

I live off the N5 Ballaghaderreen to Scramoge road. Obviously, the receivership of Roadbridge has come as a great blow to the area. I know from travelling up and down to Dublin how busy the route and the N5 road is. That road is also dangerous in a number of spots and stretches, particularly around Tulsk and Strokestown. A number of constituents have reached out to me in the last year and particularly in recent months about the condition of that road. Unfortunately, until now, it has been said that we are not doing anything with the N5 because the new road is coming, which I understand to some degree. Now, obviously, that is unfortunately going to be delayed. Given that the receivership is live, I appreciate there is not much the witnesses can say. With regard to that project specifically, what are the next steps? When might we expect to hear more regarding what is actually going to happen? What is the earliest this project could be under way or at least started again?

With regard to the lands that have been acquired under compulsory purchase order, CPO, I have been contacted by a number of landowners who have not been paid yet. Could TII shed any light on what this actually means for them?
