Something needs to be done about that. While the infrastructure is eventually on its way to Galway city, it basically links the city southwards as opposed to northwards into the entire region. The Atlantic corridor is to be upgraded to motorway status from Letterkenny all the way to Limerick. However, there is no sign that it will happen faster as a result. I would like to hear the Minister's progress on that. Road infrastructure is a critical factor in the cost of business. A major employer in County Mayo, which I will not name, needs to pay an additional €400,000 to insure the transport of its product to ports in one piece owing to the state of the road between Charlestown and Longford. That is a big factor in attracting jobs to the west. It would be great if the Minister had good news for me on the Claregalway bypass.
