Today, Transport Infrastructure Ireland, TII, announced the preferred routes for rail and road for the M20. It is very welcome. I have two questions. TII is proposing bypasses of Banogue, Charleville, Buttevant and Mallow, and it is then proposing that it will be a choice between tier 1, the highest level of dual carriageway, or motorway on the route itself. TII advised me today there is no difference in the cost between a tier 1 dual carriageway and a motorway. I would like it to be a motorway as we will just get one opportunity. Is that something the Taoiseach would support? TII is going to design an environmental stage, and it is talking about two years to get through An Bord Pleanála. That needs to be brought forward as quickly as possible. We need that connection between our two great cities of Limerick and Cork.

I would think the preferred solution is one that consists of building a dual carriageway or motorway along the existing N20. This is good news. We have an awful habit in this country of turning good news into bad news very fast, and into the next controversy. The routes have now been selected. I am open-----

I want to get value for money.

I know, but we also want to get the balance right and the perspective right.

It is a good news story.

Yes, but the Deputy has already indicated to me the next row that is coming down.

No, the next row is-----

If the Deputy wants my honest view, it is this: let us get on with it.

We cannot have a general conversation about it. I call Deputy Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire.
