Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport
National Roads, Light Rail and Metro: Discussion
2:00 am
Mark Duffy (Fine Gael)
Will TII commit to engaging with the RDO specifically on a crossing of the River Moy for phase 2 of the Ballina orbital route? Phase 1 connects the Foxford and Crossmolina road. I attended the public consultations. That was phase 1. I asked, "Where is phase 2 if we doing a phase 1?" We do not know. It does not make sense. It would be like Dr. Sweeney building the first stop on a metro and not being sure where he is going for the next stop. We need joined-up thinking in approach and serious thought about how we invest and make those decisions to make sure we know, when we have a phase 1, where we are going with phase 2. Will TII be able to commit to that with the RDO in Mayo?
