Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

We discussed this at the North-South Ministerial Council on the last occasion in Armagh. I met with the First Minister and Deputy First Minister in Belfast and Armagh and indicated the decision of the Government that €25 million would be made available in 2015 and 2016 for the A5. That road is to be developed in three sections and officials met subsequent to our decision to reconfigure the budgetary figures from the Northern Ireland perspective for the development of the road. There is no need for any further debate on it and we have made our position clear. I communicated directly with the First Minister and Deputy First Minister in Belfast and at the North-South Ministerial Council.
