James Bannon (Longford-Westmeath, Fine Gael)

The implementation of the national spatial strategy and the delivery of Transport 21 were incorporated in the programme for Government. What is the position on major capital projects such as the continuation of the motorway from Kinnegad to Roosky and phase 2B of Longford-Westmeath General Hospital, where, in 2002, €57 million was ring-fenced for this project? What is the situation regarding the three cities for the midlands? That was part of the programme for Government.
