I thank the Minister of State for his reply. We have to meet Galway County Council and we will be asking it to submit that preliminary appraisal for the project. As I stated, perhaps it could even commence on the critical, really dangerous area of that road. As I understand it, that would cost far less than the total upgrade of the entire section. Many of the residents would be very happy if the council could even start with that. I accept the procedure here but we will be in contact with Galway County Council. It is important that we raised the issue here with the Minister of State's Department in order that it can be given top priority once this appraisal has been received.
