Deputy Christopher O'Sullivan asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if he will consider requesting a report from the Department of Transport with regard to proposals for the continued realignment of the R572 from the N71 to Castletownbere fishing port; if EU funding is still available for such necessary improvements; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine

My Department does not have responsibility for the development of the public road network. This falls within the remit of the Department of Transport.

Questions concerning the realignment of the R572 from the N71 to Castletownbere should be directed to the Minister for Transport.
