Tommy Broughan (Dublin North East, Labour)

I support the views of Deputy Crawford. The A5 project is an exciting and interesting development, linking Derry to Dublin, one of our great cities. I support Deputy Crawford's comments. At issue is the Ashbourne road on our side. The area in question is near the Ceann Comhairle's territory as well. As Deputy Crawford remarked, we did not see the gap and the NRA maintains it has nothing on the matter. We support Northern Ireland in this regard but we must look after our side of the road. Will the Minister urge the NRA to come forward with the necessary plans to ensure we are ready to meet up at Aughnacloy?
