224. Deputy Michael Fitzmaurice asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the reason the upgrade to the N67 involves replacing stone walls with stake and wire fencing in view of the fact this is not in keeping with the heritage and landscape of the area (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Noting the above position, I have referred the Deputy's question to TII for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you don't receive a reply within 10 working days.
