The Tánaiste will be very familiar with the N25 between Carrigtohill and Midleton and the fact that, thankfully, thousands of houses are being built in Carrigtohill and Midleton. The condition of that road is atrocious. The old Amgen site is still sitting there and cannot be used.

The volume of traffic is increasing massively on that road and it is very dangerous. Why did the Minister for Transport hand back €7 million last year and the year before and underspend €150 million in both years when such work like this is crying out to be done? I thank the Ceann Comhairle.
