Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The Deputy has made a novel suggestion in respect of park and ride facilities and I will have it brought to the attention of the National Transport Authority. Obviously, it is concerned that the major propositions for the Galway outer ring road would be seriously expensive. At the same time, there needs to be a focus on more than tweaking a traffic light at Monivea. The suggestion made by the Deputy is novel and I will have it brought to the attention of the National Transport Authority. The design details for the longer term will be available later this year. In respect of funding, there will be a major capital review to be carried by June 2017. This can feed into that. I travelled the road there recently and got caught in one of those traffic jams the same as everybody else but I am glad to see that very significant progress has been made on the Gort-Tuam motorway which will add somewhat to the relief of congestion generally.
