Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I appreciate the disparity the Deputy has outlined. The short answer is that I do not know. I will need to ask the Minister for Transport to revert to the Deputy on it. Sometimes the reason is the projects that are put forward. I am not saying that is the reason. It is the responsibility of the local authority to put forward the projects. They cannot be funded unless they are put forward. It might be the case that the projects put forward were not strong enough or that there were not enough projects put forward for the north side of the city. I honestly do not know if that is the case. I will ask the Minister, Deputy Eamon Ryan, to come back to the Deputy.
