A5 Development Is 'Absolutely Critical' For Tyrone, L'Derry And Donegal - SF

The development of the A5 is "absolutely critical" for Co Tyrone, L'Derry and Donegal, according to Sinn Fein.

The Taoiseach confirmed to the party that he is "committed" that the A5 Transport Corridor is developed as soon as possible.

Sinn Féin MP Barry McElduff said: "The A5 dual carriageway will provide opportunities to the North West in terms of attracting inward investment and tourism, reducing travel times and transport costs to make this region more economically competitive.


"It will also prove vital in improving road safety along the entire route given the many lives that have been sadly lost because of the inadequacy of the single carriageway.

"I have written to the Taoiseach to meet so we can discuss the detail of the £75 million commitment he made."
