Upgrading of the N4 and N5 Roads Infrastructure: Discussion
10:20 am
Dr. Brian McCann:
The current access between Donegal and the greater Dublin area goes through the North, in particular the A5. There was a plan to strengthen the A5 and bring it through to the N2. There is also the Cavan road going through Enniskillen to the south Donegal area. Obviously, travel times could increase on those routes and restrictions could create delays for tourists and could detrimentally affect the economy of County Donegal. Although this has not been measured and there is a need to study the impact in more detail, it is likely people will try to avoid the various tariffs and other factors that will be imposed-----
