The Taoiseach will be pleased to know that the N22 works on the Macroom bypass are very much progressing. The next stage of that road is due to be made available for traffic shortly. As the Taoiseach was Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport at a key time in that road project, I am sure he is well familiar with the situation there. One of the issues on linking up those pieces of road is that it disconnects the access at Carrigaphooca. It is a big concern for people in Kilnamartyra, Renaniree, Ballingeary and other places. We want to see if there is a way to maintain or have some kind of suitable access for people in that area.

Will the Taoiseach impress on the Minister for Transport the need to look at some way to have, in the long term, suitable safe access for people onto the road at Carrigaphooca?

I have been delighted to see the progress on the Macroom and Ballyvourney bypass. I remember sitting in Deputy Creed’s office in Macroom maybe ten or 11 years ago as Minister with responsibility for transport trying to get that project started. It shows that sometimes these projects take time, and I am glad it has been completed under this Government and this coalition. I do not know the details of the safe access the Deputy mentioned but I will make inquiries with the Minister for Transport and directly with Transport Infrastructure Ireland, TII.
