There have been five major roads projects since 2000 at a cost of €2 billion. These are necessary in areas with a high population. Like many Senators, I come from a rural area and I would give anything for a small percentage of the money which is being spent here. However, Dublin is our capital city. It is a major population area and this must be taken into consideration. Some €1.2 billion is being spent annually on roads. At the moment three of the projects are costing between €700 million and €800 million of that budget. When the projects to which I referred in my speech are completed I hope we will have money to spend throughout the country. However, we should walk before we run.
