There is complete agreement on this project in the south-east region. Because there are so many large towns in the south-east there is huge competition in the area. We recently introduced legislation to allow local authorities to have a mayor rather than a cathaoirleach. Prior to that, apart from the five large cities, Waterford, Dublin, Cork, Galway and Limerick, there were only five other areas in the country that had the designation of mayor, three of which were in the south-east – Clonmel, Wexford and Kilkenny. This gives an idea of the competition in the region. Waterford, as capital of the south-east, has always had a difficulty with this. Having said that, there has been complete support throughout the region for this project which will benefit not only Waterford and Kilkenny through which the new road structure will pass but also the entire south-east region. It is vital for its development.
