Brendan Griffin (Kerry, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

In the next week or two. I ask the Minister because this is really important from a safety point of view and from a wider general economic point of view. It has been a terrible road over the years. Many people have campaigned for a long time. As I said, it is constantly coming up in my office. People talk to me about it when I meet them out in Dingle and along the way. Tommy Griffin is out campaigning at the moment, and he is getting it at most doors. It is very important to people, and they want to see it done. It will save lives but it will also enhance the prospect of those bus services the Minister already spoke about being successful and benefit people who are trying to commute in and out to work in Tralee, which is the major economic engine of the county. That is very important as well. It is a real priority. It is not a glamour project or anything like that. It is a really necessary piece of infrastructure that needs to be completed.
