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

I thank the Deputy for raising the important issue of the Adare bypass. The Government is very keen to get the project done not just because of the Ryder Cup, but also in order that the beautiful town of Adare can be freed from congestion and people can travel to and from County Kerry more quickly than is currently the case. The bypass is included in Project Ireland 2040. I do not know the cause of any delay. The matter does not need to come to Cabinet until it is at business case stage. I will ask the Minister, Deputy Ross, to provide the Deputy with an up-to-date briefing.
