Paddy Burke (Fine Gael)

I ask the Leader to invite the Minister for Transport to the House for a debate on national primary roads and national secondary roads. It is clear from all the local authorities throughout the country that national projects are being pushed back further for which various reasons are given. This is a significant problem because it will cost the economy money and jobs in the construction and road-making business. We are all aware that projects are being pushed further back the line.
