Deputy Niamh Smyth asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the status of the Government’s commitment to the A5 upgrade from Donegal, Derry, Tyrone and Monaghan as committed to in the St. Andrews Agreement; the progress made by his Department in the past year on this key infrastructure project; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerThe planning and implementation of the A5 project is the responsibility of the Northern Ireland authorities.
The Stormont House Agreement and Implementation Plan - A Fresh Start - sets out the Government's commitment to contribute £75 million to ensure that Phase 1 of the project (Newbuildings to north of Strabane) can commence as soon as the necessary planning process in the North has been concluded.
