James Bannon (Fine Gael)

I wish he would visit south County Longford and County Westmeath to witness at first hand the conditions of the roads, which have been on the roads programme for the past four or five years, but he has failed to deliver sufficient funding to upgrade them. When I was canvassing in these areas during the past few weekends, I told my constituents I would highlight the issue in the House at the earliest opportunity. The Minister has let down the people of rural Ireland and he has also let down the entire electorate regarding the electoral register.
