The N5 is across from that as well. Some works will be done there. There is talk of a bypass for Tulsk or a new route there. Those are the main issues.

The other matter is Roosky Bridge, which is on the N63. That is a very narrow bridge. A pedestrian cannot get through it if two vehicles are on it. Under active travel, there seem to be proposals to extend the footpath, which is very narrow. We have been looking for a new footpath on the outside of the bridge, which has been done at Carrick-on-Shannon. There is a 45-acre site at Roosky, which was occupied by Glanbia, that is fully serviced. There is a great hope that will be opened up again. If the footpath that is currently proposed is put in, it will close that bridge off to lorries, which will not be able to access the area. That is very important. It will cost more money but we need the footpath to be on the outside of the bridge. I spoke to the Minister of State, Deputy Chambers, about this. He has looked at it already.

Those are my few points. I understand that much of it is parochial. Whatever the representatives can answer, they can answer. If they come back with answers, I would appreciate it.
