Mr. John David Taylorasked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what proposals there are for the improvement of the Newry to Dundalk road; what proportion of the total cost will be borne by Northern Ireland; if he will make available a map delineating this proposed route of this road; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. NeedhamThis major cross-border route has been the subject of discussion between the relevant authorities in Northern Ireland and the Republic. There is agreement that the existing road should be maintained as the main link between Newry and Dundalk, and that there should be further discussions.
