(Cavan-Monaghan): Are there any plans for the improvement of the Dublin-Navan road, especially between Blanchardstown and Clonee?

I do not have that information here, but if the Deputy puts down a written or oral question I will be only too glad to give him the information.

(Cavan-Monaghan): Would the Minister accept that this is one of the most unsatisfactory roads in the country and which does not seem to have been improved within living memory?

The Deputy will appreciate that when the Coalition were in office the roads were very bad and when we came into office we allocated an extra £10 million to alleviate the position. That shows the interest my Government and my Minister have in the road network. We are fully committed to this plan.

We cannot have a debate on this question.

(Cavan-Monaghan): Arising out of the Minister's general remarks is he aware that the road I am talking about — from Clonee to Dublin via Blachardstown — has not been improved since 1932? Would he accept that his party had responsibility for this situation for most of that time?

I will have the matter looked into.
