According to a recent survey carried out by my colleague, Deputy Deenihan, the second most important problem encountered by tourists in Ireland is transport. Whether it be accessing the country, either through the airports or sea ports, or getting around the country, there are serious transport problems. I agree with the report's recommendation that the Government should stick rigidly to the national roads programme and roll-out the proposed new motorways and roadways. It is important for my area of Kilkenny in the south-east that the Government continues with its plan to extend a new motorway from Waterford to Dublin. The Minister is familiar with the current state of the road, which is creating a difficulty for tourists attempting to get around the country.
