In Mr. Walsh's opening statement, the N6 Galway city ring road was mentioned as having the potential to go to construction in 2028, subject to planning permission. To state the completely obvious, Galway is crying out for it. It is really needed. It is costing significant investment in companies. It is doing untold damage. As Deputy Tóibín said, it is costing families time and health issues. It is never-ending at this stage. Will Mr. Walsh say what steps are required to be sure that it goes to construction in, as he says, 2028? We are well aware that it depends on planning permission. I want to know how Transport Infrastructure Ireland is preparing for that.
