I ask the Taoiseach if he would visit Tipperary town and meet the task force led by Alison Harvey and representatives of Jobs for Tipp and March for Tipp because the congestion in the town is chronic. It needs an outer relief road or an in-between road before we get the motorway from Limerick to Waterford, which is also badly needed, on to the Port of Rosslare, especially in these times of Brexit. I ask the Taoiseach to visit the town to see for himself the excellent work being done by the task force and talk to its members and the other groups that are collaborating and working hard to try to improve the situation in Tipperary town.

All the Deputies from Tipperary have alerted me to the situation in Tipperary town and the challenges being faced, from socioeconomic challenges to education. I certainly will engage with those issues and work with all the Deputies to see how best we can pursue them.
