Yesterday there was a call for a debate about the National Roads Authority and the cost of new roads and motorways. Senator Ryan referred to this matter. I would welcome such a debate, but it is also important to remember the communities that are being affected by the proposed new roads. There is one area in east Galway, New Inn, in which a new motorway, a landfill site and a gas pipeline are all being built. We should take account of this issue in any debate about the cost of new roads.
