Tom Hayes (Tipperary South, Fine Gael)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, cancelled roads projects across the country, including three sections of the N24 in south Tipperary - the Carrick-on-Suir bypass, the Clonmel bypass and the stretch from Cahir to Bansha. These projects are vital for the infrastructure of south Tipperary and are needed badly to create jobs in the construction sector. If the Government is serious about economic recovery, the key to achieving it is investment in infrastructure to develop our country while meaning that we can get some of the 450,000 people currently unemployed back to work.
