I want to ask the Taoiseach about the Farranfore to Lissyviggeen N22 road scheme, the Killarney outer bypass scheme. Traffic congestion in and around Killarney town is now a serious issue. On the doors at the weekends, the issue is constantly coming up. People are very frustrated with the time it takes now to travel in and around Killarney. During my time in politics this has proven to be one of the most frustrating issues I have dealt with. Unfortunately, I am leaving at a time when it has not been progressed. I was glad to see the N22 Ballyvourney to Macroom section completed in my time and certainly moved forward during my time in the Department of Transport. This particular project has proven very frustrating. Will the Taoiseach ensure this is a priority in any future Government he will be involved with? It is badly needed for the socioeconomic life of Killarney and the surrounding districts and needs to be prioritised.
