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

If I remember correctly, when I was Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, the project got stuck in legal issues. There was a heritage case or a case involving property that held it up. The Government is keen to progress the N22 bypass project which would connect Killarney, Ballyvourney and Macroom, but I cannot make any commitment to the Deputy today. However, we are in the process of allocating additional capital resources to announced in the budget next week and the subsequent ten year plan. I am keen to see the road project move to construction as soon as possible.
