John Curran (Dublin Mid West, Fianna Fail)

The Government is working hard to bring the people of County Donegal through the recession. Its primary focus is to protect existing jobs and to create job opportunities for those who are without work at present. It also is committed to building on its strong record of delivery in County Donegal over more than a decade, particularly in respect of the roll-out of new infrastructure and improved services. At a national level and despite the difficult economic position, the Government has continued to invest in building a new high-quality road network to link Donegal through the North to Dublin.
