I thank the Minister for his reply, which explains the problem. The road concerned is the N25, which is the main road from Waterford to Cork, which services traffic exiting from Rosslare Port.

The traffic is naturally fast as the vehicles have just exited the motorway. The Minister has rightly said that the delineation was carried out in 2015. Unfortunately the delineation was very good in parts but not as good in others. The Minister said they will not put in markings in residential areas, however the problem is that people exit the motorway two miles up the road on the right hand side. There are eight houses on the road, called Kilmoyemoge East, which leads onto another road that has 100 houses. There is a great deal of traffic, including school buses, and residents are deeply concerned that there will be a serious accident. It is a simple thing to seek line markings on a road for safety.
