I return to the issue of projects that were sidelined. Take the Cork-Limerick road for instance. A decision was taken to not proceed with it. Then, when it was decided to proceed with it, it appears as though we started with a clean sheet and went through the whole process all over again. Is there a mechanism for dealing with that? If a project is parked, why must we start with a clean sheet if we go back to it two or three years later, as if there had been no work of any description done? I ask that with particular reference to the Cork-Limerick route.
