I also call on the Taoiseach, in the most reasoned possible way, to address this. This road is a vital connection. We often hear about the highest pub in Ireland, the Top of Coom, which is owned by the Creedon family. This issue is affecting businesses such as that one, as well as people on both sides of the county border. This is a cross-border problem. I call on my Cork colleagues to put their shoulders to the wheel in asking the Taoiseach and the Government to deal with this. I have been in contact with the Cork county manager and have pleaded with him to ensure the work will be carried out. It is a vital connection between Kerry and Cork.
