The committee would want to ensure that it listens to what is being said. The committee pointed out what Deputy Mac Lochlainn said. I presented a map of the entire country and showed how barren is the road network to the north west area. The rest of the country is well served with roads. It is denying the human rights of the people in the north west that development of this road has not continued. When the committee visits the narrow water bridge and goes to County Monaghan it should meet with the county engineer in Monaghan. That part of the road is part of his mandate. It would be a good idea to meet him and get his views on it.
