Mr. Peter Walsh:

I do not have any very clever things to say on that. The allocations for 2024 are conditioned, in accordance with section 24 of the Roads Act, to be used to progress projects on a list of projects. The N2-Rath roundabout to Kilmoon Cross is not one of those projects. I heard the Deputy previously raise the notion, if it is not to be a capacity enhancement issue, of what it is to be because it is not enough to simply do nothing. If it is to be a public transport enhancement, it would be a matter for the NTA as part of the transport strategy for the greater Dublin area. We would be happy to support the project in whatever way we can as regards its contribution to the national road network but I am afraid I do not have any very clever solution to it.
