I also wish to be associated with the comments on Mr. Wilmshurst from the British Embassy. I wish him well in his new role. I also welcome Mr. Moore. He has big shoes to fill, which I am sure he will do. I acknowledge the excellent work over recent years. It has been a difficult time. A lot of things happened in the UK, particularly in respect of the UK-Ireland relationship, and Mr. Wilmshurst played a key role in that over recent years. I thank him for that.

There was a positive announcement last week about roads funding, with an increase on previous years. However, one road was not selected for funding. I have spoken about it numerous times.
