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

I know that Tipperary town needs help. It is a town that needs to be reinvigorated and revitalised. The Deputy has raised this with me many times, as have Deputies Lowry and Cahill and Senator Ahearne. Going back to my time in Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport, there was funding for a one-way system to the town which did not get approval. Now there is talk of a ring road.

We have set up the task force, and I am glad to hear that it is doing good work. I will mention the matter to the Minister, Deputy Ryan and the Minister of State, Deputy Joe O'Brien, so that the matter can be brought to a conclusion.
