A Programme for a Partnership Government gives a firm commitment to reviewing the TEN-T in Ireland. TEN-T designation opens up wide funding streams from the EU, and it is especially important in light of Brexit that we be able to review our network designation. According to a parliamentary reply from the Minister from Transport, Tourism and Sport, Deputy Ross, as recently as two weeks ago, though, he is yet to make an application to the European Commission on reviewing TEN-T designation. Is this a priority for the Government? It was included in the programme for Government more than three years ago. If it is a priority, when can we expect an application to be made?
