Feargal Quinn (Independent)

I too am pleased to see the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government, Deputy Roche, in the House, since he speaks in a language we can understand, explains his points and is willing to argue them.

There is little doubt of the need for something to be done. I travelled to Galway this weekend for the first time in a while and was very impressed by the roads. That we have such roads should be appreciated. Our memories are often short. I remember a Deputy from Dundalk saying to me that when the Dundalk road was built, people very much recognised and appreciated the benefit. We must remind people that we can get such things done with the help of the European Union, since it allocates funds to help us do so.
