Shane McEntee (Meath East, Fine Gael)

Some 22 people have been killed on that bridge between McGruder's Cross and Slane. We could have had 22 killed all at once. Since the Minister has the authority, will he provide the money to the NRA to build a bridge? I am realistic and I am aware that cannot take place, but I call on the Minister to give the authority to the NRA to stop heavy goods vehicles, except for those with a licence to do business in the area, from entering Slane. That is the only measure the people of Slane will accept.
