I welcome the approval for the N4, from Colooney to Castlebaldwin, and I thank the Taoiseach and Cabinet for approving that. The Taoiseach, as Minister for Transport, was the first Minister to give approval for funding. For the past 20 to 30 years, this roadway was promised by successive Governments. As a Deputy for Sligo, who was lobbied over many years for this funding, I am delighted we can start this project. The Taoiseach might give me an indication as to when this project will start. For the people of Sligo and the north west, this Cabinet approval is vitally important. Could we have a timeline as to when this project will start?
