It comes into the matter of road safety as well. There is a significant issue with road safety on the main street in Mallow. We have huge HGVs coming through the main street. It has a genuine effect on the local economy and the building of homes. We are seeing loads of houses being developed in Mallow and the infrastructure does not match it. When I entered politics first I never really understood it. We could see the benefits of building homes because we want people living in our town, but we do not have the infrastructure to match it. That comes back to the TD constantly as if you are doing nothing about it, when you are trying your best to do something about it.

I will very quickly go on to the Cork to Limerick motorway. It is a significant project. The Department has engaged on this with locals and public representatives, but is it fully committed to delivering this motorway by 2035?
