James O'Connor (Cork East, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Minister for being here. I want to use this important opportunity today, before the Government finalises the review of the national development plan, once again to push for the critical infrastructure projects that are badly needed in the constituency of Cork East. It is incredibly important that the Government gives priority to the Cobh access road and the Castlemartyr and Killeagh bypasses. We are far behind where we need to be on the level of road infrastructure required to handle the traffic levels in east Cork. We need the help and assistance of the Minister. Will he please give the House an update on what is going on in these projects?
