Seán Fleming: TII gave us a great information note. It refers to the M7 Naas-Newbridge upgrade and says the scope of the design and build contract includes the Sallins bypass, the Osberstown interchange and the M7 and that these works will be funded separately by the Department. Why is the Department coming in with part of the funding for one big project? It is great and I can understand that when this...

Seán Fleming: If Mr. Mullaney knows the answer to this last local question he can tell me now, if not he can send me a detailed note on the Portlaoise-southern bypass route. I think the compulsory purchase order, CPO, process is in place. When does the Department expect work to commence? Is that being funded by the Department?
- Public Accounts Committee: Transport Infrastructure Ireland: Financial Statements 2016 (12 Oct 2017)
Seán Fleming: It will be 12 months at least before construction begins, from tendering and detailed design.

Seán Fleming: Is the Department sending us a list of the projects it is funding separately? We got very comprehensive documents from TII with all the road projects. Mr. Mullaney might send us a list of the ones the Department is dealing with directly.

Seán Fleming: What is the national average?
- Public Accounts Committee: Transport Infrastructure Ireland: Financial Statements 2016 (12 Oct 2017)

Seán Fleming: The financial statements are on page 31. The top paragraph refers to M7-M8 Portlaoise bypass. TII's note reads: The project, which provides bypasses of Abbeyleix, Durrow, Cullahill, Mountrath, Castletown and Borris-in-Ossory, involved the construction of a tolled motorway of approximately 41km total length. There are grade separated junctions at Portlaoise, Borris-in-Ossory and Rathdowney...

Seán Fleming: I am reading from TII's financial statement. I am not saying anything. TII speaks in its statement about a motorway to motorway interchange at Aghaboe.

Seán Fleming: One cannot go from the M7 to the M8.
- Public Accounts Committee: Transport Infrastructure Ireland: Financial Statements 2016 (12 Oct 2017)
Seán Fleming: But not at Aghaboe. One can do so in Portlaoise. I think Mr. Nolan understands my point.
- Public Accounts Committee: Transport Infrastructure Ireland: Financial Statements 2016 (12 Oct 2017)
Seán Fleming: I know that.
- Public Accounts Committee: Transport Infrastructure Ireland: Financial Statements 2016 (12 Oct 2017)
Seán Fleming: Exactly. In fact, TII did not include it in its submission to An Bord Pleanála. A certain gentleman, to whom Mr. Nolan is listening, made a recommendation at the oral hearing to the effect that the interchange should be included. The inspector from An Bord Pleanála agreed, as did the board, but the interchange was never built by TII. It is a small point, but when I read notes...
