Mr. Peter Walsh:

There are a number of projects on the N2, one of which received funding at the beginning of the year, namely, the Ardee-Castleblayney project. We were not in a position to provide funding to extend it from Clontibret to the Border at the time. With the changes that have occurred regarding where money is needed now, not least the N5 between Ballaghaderreen and Scramoge, it allows us the opportunity to review that. That, along with the other five of the major projects we were not in a position to fund in planning and design at the end of last year, is under active consideration.
