Paschal Donohoe (Dublin Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I will raise some key points about the progress the national development plan, NDP, is making for the people of County Donegal. I highlight where we are with the national broadband plan. At the moment there are 20 connected remote working hubs in County Donegal. I point to the upgraded N56 in County Donegal, which was reopened following an investment of more than €100 million and I understand the road project also contains progress on viewing points and walking and cycling routes.

We have published an NDP progress report that highlights all the different progress that has been made in different regions, including County Donegal. That document lays out in more detail the progress that is happening there. It is accompanied by the work that is taking place in the PEACE PLUS funding programme which looks to prioritise investment in peace and prosperity, not only in Northern Ireland, but also in the adjacent Border counties, including County Donegal. A small, but valuable example of the impact that is having is that €7.6 million of additional funding was allocated to Donegal County Council, which I understand will fund 32 different projects in the county.

However, if the Deputy wishes to raise any particular projects that are not taking place in the county, I am sure he will do so now.
