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

I have been delighted to see the progress on the Macroom and Ballyvourney bypass. I remember sitting in Deputy Creed’s office in Macroom maybe ten or 11 years ago as Minister with responsibility for transport trying to get that project started. It shows that sometimes these projects take time, and I am glad it has been completed under this Government and this coalition. I do not know the details of the safe access the Deputy mentioned but I will make inquiries with the Minister for Transport and directly with Transport Infrastructure Ireland, TII.
