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

I thank Deputy O'Dea for raising this important issue. I am familiar with it from my constituency which has the M50 running through it. Down the years, we have engaged in various battles with TII, previously the National Roads Authority, NRA, and the local authorities to secure noise management measures, which can make a big difference in people's lives. I have seen noise measures be put in place and noise reduced, although only so much can be done, unfortunately.

It has been a long time since I engaged on this issue, but the Deputy has raised it and it is important to people in Limerick and elsewhere, so I will endeavour to come back to him with more information when I get it.
