Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport (23 Feb 2017) Bobby Aylward: The reason I ask is because between the two bypasses, there will be a small bit left in the middle of only about 8 km that is a two-way system. Will it be safe, particularly for tourists and foreign travellers? They would be going from one extreme to another and then going back again.

Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport (23 Feb 2017) Bobby Aylward: I want to refer to local roads. Since the downturn in 2008, there has been a big shortfall in local authority funding. Roads are funded partly by the authority itself and then by grants from central funding. Are there plans to increase the funding because roads are falling behind?
