This report recommends greater investment in national and non-national roads, which would be beneficial. It is important to ensure that links between the capital city and other towns are continually upgraded although they may not need to be upgraded at the pace identified in the plan. It is more important to examine and upgrade pressure points within the regions. We could talk about areas such as Limerick, Ennis and Galway. We can recognise that when the link between Dublin and Portlaoise is complete, the NDP still envisages building a motorway from Portlaoise to Limerick. However, in my view there should no longer be as great a priority on that project because there are much greater pressure points in and around Limerick and on the link between Limerick and Galway. I do not mean the Ennis bypass because it was identified earlier and is going to go ahead next year. I am heartened also that the fourth river crossing in Limerick is being accelerated. There are pressure points within the regions, as identified in the national spatial strategy, which are causing a kind of noose around the neck of prospective development therein. It is about time these projects were brought about.
