Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Toll Increases and Ongoing Projects: Discussion with Transport Infrastructure Ireland
Mr. Peter Walsh:
The effect is that the road project will not progress. The condition of restricted funding in the years 2024 and 2025 is one that would apply across the programme. The condition relating to the named projects would have a focused effect on those projects. One of the features of those projects is that they are at relatively early stages of planning. Therefore, there are fewer commitments in existence on them. For instance, we could not discontinue with the commitment on the Ballyvourney-Macroom project. It is under construction and it would be unthinkable.
