I thank Deputy Aylward for allowing me to speak on this matter.

A group of Members from Kilkenny and I have already met the Minister on this and I know he is committed to visiting the road in question. It is a treacherous and exceptionally dangerous stretch of road because of the spacing between the junctions. The road barrier is a steel rope and would be lethal if one hit it.

There have been 15 deaths on this road. The parish priest, members of the local community and people who have used the road to travel to Waterford have been in touch with me about it. I hope the Minister can address this issue.
