Pat Rabbitte (Dublin South West, Labour)

I have some sympathy with the point the Deputy makes about inconvenience. However, the professional and technical advice is that it is necessary to proceed in the way outlined.

I am sure the Minister, Deputy Varadkar, would be happy to talk to the county manager or county engineer about bridging the four month period and minimising the inconvenience and to discuss the concerns raised by the Deputy.
