Noel Coonan (Tipperary North, Fine Gael)

In the context of the road traffic (amendment) Bill amending the Road Traffic Act, will the Taoiseach and the Minister for Transport take on board the situation regarding the motorway, in particular the M7 from Nenagh to Castletown, the last stage of which has been closed off in recent days because subcontractors are not being paid. Some have not been paid since as far back as last March and many small businesses are being put to the wall. I have asked the Taoiseach to take action on the matter as the road is in his constituency. The Minister for Transport is present.
