Last October, Commissioner Bulc clearly indicated her willingness to look favourably on a review of the TEN-T network. Nine months on, the Department has yet to make a comprehensive submission. This submission should not be delayed any further. It should have happened by now. We need greater investment in our transport network. We need more balanced regional development. Our exporters need security and need to be supported. The Government needs to secure a review of the TEN-T network so that the designation can be extended. That will help. The EU is willing to facilitate this. The only people who are unwilling to do so are the Minister and his Government colleagues.
