I thank the Minister for his response. I must emphasise the importance of the progression of this project. He rightly stated we need to focus on projects which deal with improving road safety. The N5 road between Ballaghaderreen to Scramoge is an identified accident black spot and we need to ensure everything is done to ensure that capital funding is made available. I will continue to work with the Minister until we secure the funding because it is critical. Every accident that happens on a route that is not fit for purpose is one too many. We need to minimise the risk.
