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

I am not aware of whether there is an appeals process. I will ask the Minister to respond to the Deputy's letter. I am aware of this issue.

It has been raised with me by Deputy O'Dowd, among others, and we agreed on the need to build that road for many different reasons. It seems to fall between two stools. It is really a transport project, but the application was made under the urban regeneration fund. We need the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage, Deputy Darragh O'Brien, and the Minister for Transport, Deputy Eamon Ryan, to work together to come up with a solution for this so that Government funding can be provided to get the road built.
