Michael Collins (Cork South West, Independent) | Oireachtas source

Will the Minister tell me the date work will commence on the Innishannon bypass? Will he also give the start date for the long-awaited completion of the Bandon southern bypass and start dates for the full northern relief road in Bandon and the Bantry bypass? Will he also tell us whether there are any plans to insert passing bays on the N71 from Ballydehob to Bandon or the R586 from Bantry to Bandon via Dunmanway roads? The people of west Cork have had announcement after announcement about these projects for decades but not a sod has been turned. Today we need nothing less than start dates so we can progress west Cork roads and bring them up to the same standard as those in other constituencies.
