Deputy James Browne asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the steps he will take to examine road connectivity between Rosslare Europort and the west of the country; his plans to link roads (details supplied) in light of the importance of increasing direct accessibility between the west and continental Europe and avoiding likely UK customs delays post-Brexit; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
