Will the Minister provide the money immediately for phases three and four of the inner relief road in Dundalk? Unless the further development of the road takes place immediately a very serious situation will arise at the northern end of Dundalk as the bridge there was definitely not built to carry either the weight or volume of traffic that crosses it daily on its way from Larne or Belfast.

This is getting completely out of hand.

The question on the Order Paper relates to——

I want a question from the Deputy, not a speech.

——road development in 1985.

I will accept one question from the Deputy but I will not tolerate a long speech like the one he is making.

In the constituency of Louth, Dundalk lies between the two largest cities in the country——

The Deputy must obey the Chair on Standing Orders.

I am entitled to ask a question.

The Deputy is entitled to ask a question but he is making a long speech.

Will the Minister provide the money for phases three and four of the inner relief road in Dundalk to allow the development of the road to proceed, as it is urgently needed?

The question refers to proposals for major road improvements commencing in 1985. I have listed all of those that will begin this year.

Question No. 7.

Does the Minister intend to provide the finance for the roadway, even next year?

That does not arise on this question.
