Joe Flaherty (Longford-Westmeath, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I have previously raised with the Taoiseach the matter of the stalling of the allocation of funding for the continued development of the N4 upgrade from Mullingar to Longford. It has now emerged that €6 million has been spent on the project to date. In the event of funding not being allocated this year, we risk that previous expenditure being wasted. The Taoiseach has committed to looking at the project. I urge him to treat it as a priority. It is essential for the midlands and the west.
