I have been in Tullamore on a number of occasions. Between the National Ploughing Championships and the Tullamore Show, it has been a busy county and a lot of people have been on the N52 in recent weeks. We have committed to many regional roads. The Minister, Deputy O'Brien, is working on updating Transport Infrastructure Ireland's roads programme for the next five years. The N52 is critical to connecting the business and investment opportunities for Tullamore and the wider Offaly region to the M6. The issues and concerns in the local community in Durrow and the road safety concerns related to the school are well documented. I am familiar with the matter. It should happen. It will be covered in the wider engagement the Minister, Deputy O'Brien, has with TII. He will be able to set out the sectoral investment plans for all road and public transport projects when that work has been completed.
