I welcome the ambitious plans for the delivery of thousands of homes in east Cork and note the progress Irish Water is making. The delivery of water and waste water infrastructure in Midleton has been a long-standing issue and has held back its development so that is real progress.

In relation to the road infrastructure project, the N25, Transport Infrastructure Ireland, TII, and the Department of Transport set individual project priorities. My view is we should continue to advance projects because funding opportunities can arise in the context of underspends elsewhere in the national development plan. We will raise the issue with the Minister, Deputy Eamon Ryan, and come back directly to the Deputy.
