Michael Moynihan (Cork North West, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

Balanced regional development is very important. In light of everything that is happening with the cities, the shortage of housing and everything else, it is the way forward. In that context, there is particular need to prioritise the M20 connection road between Limerick and Cork and beyond. The recent tragedies on the streets of Charleville are a major concern for all those representing the area. It is very important that the M20 gets the go-ahead. It needs to be prioritised in order to address the issues relating to the main street in Charleville and ensure balanced regional development of the Cork and Limerick region. It should be moved through the various stages at pace.
