I want to raise a further couple of infrastructure projects in my county, one of which the Minister visited before he took office, namely, the Dean Maxwell nursing home, Roscrea, which is very important to the town but needs significant capital investment. I hope that will be catered for in the programme.

The other project is in Ardfinnan, which the Taoiseach visited on Friday last. A pedestrian walkway bridge in the town would be very important. There is an historic bridge, which is a protected structure, and for the past six years there has been single-lane traffic, which is very disruptive to the village. I urge the inclusion, therefore, of the pedestrian walkway as well. I could list a litany of further projects but they are just two in my constituency that I would love to be considered.
