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

I thank Deputy Neville for raising this issue. The Government is very committed to this project, which is included in Project Ireland 2040. It will be of great importance in connecting Foynes, a deep-water port that has enormous development potential for trade, via a proper, high-quality road and will also help to alleviate the traffic congestion in Adare, which is a blight on an otherwise beautiful village. I do not have the timelines in front of me, but I will endeavour to have them confirmed and will revert to the Deputy on the issue.
