asked the Minister for the Environment if he will give location details of the programme of road improvements which has been prepared as per Building on Reality, 1985-1987.

In accordance with the commitment given in the national plan, details of a number of new major road improvement projects which are expected to commence during the period 1985 to 1987 will be announced shortly.

The ten year programme of road improvements which was prepared as an input to the drafting of the plan is now being revised in the light of the Government's financial commitments over the next three years. The ten year programme will serve as a planning framework over that period.
