It is not acceptable that the wrong response was given to the Deputy. For this reason, I have undertaken to immediately pursue this specific case. That the Deputy has raised it on the floor of the Dáil indicates the matter is clearly important in his constituency. I acknowledge he frequently makes requests on road safety issues in various locations in his constituency and it is only the priority cases that make it to the floor of the Chamber. I appreciate this is an issue of significant importance. I also apologise on behalf of the Department because the Deputy should have been given the correct answer. I certainly should not have been given a response to a question the Deputy did not ask. Unfortunately, that is what happened. I had no way of knowing that was the case until I saw the Deputy arriving. I will undertake immediately to seek a correct response for the Deputy.
