Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement

Border Region Road Links: Discussion with NRA

11:20 am

Mr. Fred Barry:

I understand. I have committed that we will ensure the planning of that section, particularly at the Border, is sufficiently advanced that it does not become an obstacle to the development of the A5. I do not imagine it will take us anything in the region of €1.5 million to do that. I am giving that commitment but I cannot give a commitment that we will pick that particular scheme and give it additional funding.
