I welcome Mr. Walsh and Mr. O'Neill. The last time we met was at the opening of the long-awaited Macroom bypass, which we welcome very much. The Killarney bypass has been promised for many years. We thought we were getting close last year but we were then told no funding was being made available to TII. The road is a continuation of the Macroom bypass and is also called the Kerry-Cork economic corridor. Where we are talking about is from Lissyviggeen to Farranfore, and from Farranfore to Castlelough on the Muckross Road, which joins up with the national secondary road, the Moll’s Gap road. It is very important. Where is this proposal or scheme on TII's list of priorities? Is it on any list or has it been dropped?
