I spoke to Mr. Walsh last week about the volume of housing that, thankfully, is now planned for east Cork. There are plans for thousands of houses. In fact, it is heading for tens of thousands of houses in some areas. It is massive. A new village is being constructed just east of Midleton. The intersection of the road is not up to standard. I have seen that already. The N25 from Carrigtwohill to Midleton is joined by slip roads that are not slip roads at all. There are right-angle junctions and medians go across from one section to another. Does Mr. Walsh agree it is an extraordinarily dangerous road?

I have written to TII about this in recent weeks and previously on a number of occasions. A lot of us are very concerned about the danger on that road because of the volume and speed of traffic and the terribly dangerous intersections. Are there any plans to make it safer?
