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

The biggest single transport investment in the past two years was the Gort to Tuam motorway, costing €550 million. The biggest single transport investment in the past two years was in the west of Ireland, helping us to connect Galway and Limerick and we will connect Limerick to Cork in due course. The Deputies will know about the investment in projects such as greenways around the country and the Wild Atlantic Way. I also meet the people the Deputies meet around the country and they do not talk down their communities. It is politicians on the other side of the House who talk down their communities and counties.
