Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I have been aware of both of these roads twice a week for the past 40 years. There are sections where there are difficulties with the archaeological excavations. There is a major capital review programme to be carried out mid-year. Some sections are more ready than others. Let us see the state of readiness of sections of the N4 and N5. Clearly we need continuing, major capital expenditure in particular locations throughout the country. These are the main arteries into the west and from the west to Dublin. There are sections that need to be improved.
