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

I can absolutely give the Deputy a commitment that it is full steam ahead with the Atlantic economic corridor and improving our road infrastructure between Cork, Limerick, Shannon, Galway and on to Sligo. Much of the work has already been done, as the Deputy knows, including the Gort to Tuam section and south, beyond Limerick. This morning, the Cabinet approved the upgrade of the Castlebaldwin to Collooney section of the N4, which will improve the road link to Sligo. The Cabinet also gave Sligo County Council approval to sign the contracts for that project, which is really important in terms of improving road access to the north west. It really speaks to our vision in Project Ireland 2040 to develop Sligo as a major urban centre for the north west.
