Funding for the N53 upgrade from just north of Hackballscross to Rassan is guaranteed into 2023. An oral hearing has not been held by An Bord Pleanála, however. Given that body's problems right now, there is a concern that funding will not be guaranteed if this situation continues.

What is the status of the Ardee bypass and the N2 upgrade? TII is in discussions on the M1 toll. Deputy Munster always raises the issue of the slip road to Drogheda. It is a disaster. Have we a sustainable means of dealing with road maintenance, given the issue with tolls?
