With regard to the upgrade of the N25 at Castlemartyr and Killeagh, I understand the documents, thankfully, have now gone to the Department of Transport for “gate zero” approval under the planning frameworks within the Department. Is it possible that this is looked into and that it is done immediately, and that funding is immediately issued for the appointment of a design consultant, which is required in order that locals can see what the proposed routes will be over the course of this coming year?
