National Development Plan Mid-Term Evaluation: Statements.
Rather than chopping and changing plans for the road network, we must stick to some coherent plan. If necessary, we should prioritise building the bad sections of the road network in such a way that they can be joined up at a later stage to complete the project, whether it is from Dublin to Galway, Cork or Waterford. Will the Minister of State clarify why the plan was changed to have one road going from Dublin to Cork with a spur off it for Waterford? What was the explanation for that decision? I am aware that the EU Commission has expressed surprise at it. It will be helpful to all those involved if the Minister clarifies the position.
