I want to be very clear. As the Deputy knows, Galway City Council and Galway County Council issued a joint statement with Transport Infrastructure Ireland, TII, this week in which they indicated they remain committed to the delivery of the N6 Galway city ring road. The Government's position is as per the national development plan and this project is included in the allocation of resources over ten years of that plan. The then Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, Deputy Michael McGrath, allocated these resources and this was agreed by the Cabinet. It was also agreed by the three party leaders, along with the Minister for Finance and the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform. This is the formal position and there has been no change in this regard in respect of the Galway city ring road.
