The Taoiseach will have heard the song "It's a Long Way to Tipperary", but it must be an awful long way for him, because he promised me months ago that he would meet the task force in Tipperary, the Jobs4Tipp and March4Tipp groups and representatives like Councillor Anne Marie Ryan. Could he organise a Zoom meeting to deal with the issue of a ring road for Tipperary town? The motorway is coming at some stage but there are road works in the town which will cause bedlam for two more years. I urge the Taoiseach to meet this group. They are enablers. They want to be positive. They are working with Alison Harvey's task force, but we need joined-up thinking here. We badly need a ring road. The Minister for Transport, Deputy Eamon Ryan, has committed to meeting the group as well, as has the Minister of State, Deputy Hildegarde Naughton. They need the Taoiseach to engage. They saw the commitment he gave. I accept that the Taoiseach has been busy, but will he please organise a Zoom call with those people and the other Deputies for Tipperary to try to push the project forward?

I thank the Deputy. Could the Taoiseach respond about a Zoom call?

I have had many Zoom calls on many issues. In fairness, is it the Taoiseach's task to do every ring road in the country? We have a local authority, a Minister for Transport and a Minister of State at the Department of Transport, who is at the Cabinet table. We need to reflect on that. Am I now to actively-----

Is Tipperary too far away?

It is not too far away from Cork. The Deputy knows it has never been too far away from Cork.

Not this year anyway.

We were a bit behind Tipperary this year. Cork has a great love affair with Tipperary. The Deputy knows that.

Could the Taoiseach-----

I take the Deputy's point. He will appreciate that things were hectic with Covid-19 and everything else. I will talk to the Minister, Deputy Eamon Ryan, and the Minister of State, Deputy Hildegarde Naughton, and I will check out where the project is at.

That is very good. I thank the Taoiseach.
