The timing of construction of this scheme is being considered in the context of the preparation by my Department of: (a) an operational programme for national roads for the period 1989 to 1993, which will be submitted to the EC Commission before the end of next month for the purposes of the revised EC Structural Funds, and (b) a Blueprint for Road Development which will be published later this year.
