The National Roads Authority is suggesting having isolated and disconnected infrastructure is not a good idea. I imagine the authority is right, but I am equally certain that the Deputy is right. The proposed amendment to the roads Act would have a significant impact. All of the points raised by the Deputy are valid. I am pleased that the Minister for Finance has joined us because Adare is probably in his constituency also. As we all know, funding is a key issue, especially when it comes to road construction. I will ensure all of the points the Deputy has raised will be relayed to the relevant Minister.
