N2 road works in Ardee
Deputy Smyth asked that the Taoiseach review delays on the N2 project, especially the stretch from the motorway to the Ardee roundabout. The Taoiseach said he would speak to the Transport Minister and that consultations with TII and community groups should take place.
At the recent Carrickmacross–Castleblayney Municipal District meeting, members unanimously passed a motion of concern regarding the new N2 project, in respect of which the Government has committed over €100 million under the national development plan. The concern is that no works are taking place on the stretch of road from the motorway to the roundabout in Ardee, which poses the greatest risk to commuters. Could the Taoiseach discuss this matter with the Minister for Transport and re-examine it because there is genuine concern about it on the ground?
Comment on this
I will talk to the Minister for Transport about that.
There should be consultations between Transport Infrastructure Ireland, if it is responsible for that stretch of road, and the community groups representing the residents and the general community. That is how the matter should be progressed.
