Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement

Border Region Road Links: Discussion with NRA

11:10 am

Mr. Fred Barry:

I think I have covered most of the questions. In regard to Deputy Ellis's question on the A5, N16 and N4, there is not much more I can say as to what will happen.

If there is any funding available from TEN-T we will certainly be active in chasing it. We have done quite well on funding even though funds coming to Ireland have reduced in the past decade. In the first decade of the century we received close to €1 billion, €900 million of which went towards road infrastructure. That should not be missed.
