Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I do not know whether an application has been made under TEN-T for the road project in question. I recall that the Shannon-Foynes Port Company applied for, and may well have received, some TEN-T funding for the port. I am not sure about the road project. I will ask the Minister, Deputy Ross, to communicate directly with Deputy Neville. I agree with the Deputy that it is important for us to connect the deep-water port of Foynes to the high-quality road network so that the port can expand. I think this makes sense for many reasons.
