A5 WTC (New Road from Aughnacloy to Derry)

[Franko]

Is money holding this road up?

The UK is in the top 10 richest countries in the world. I can't mid if it 7th or 8th it changes I think regularly. Point is it is an extremely wealthy nation. No one was on about the cost of all the weapons they send to Ukraine. 4.6b in case you wondered https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/storm-shadow-missiles-ukraine-uk-weapons-b2339703.html

NI nor the UK are broke. They just choose to withhold funding to attack the most vulnerable. Health, Education, Infrastructure. These cuts are by choice.

The UK is living on borrowed money , called the current account deficit.
NI could cut its corporate tax rate but needs £500m to back the projections and it doesn't have it. How much does the road cost ?

Sure the rich republic could pay for it as it's a cross border road.

Irish tax payers should be funding a motorway from Letterkenny to Tuam which would link with the existing M17 and join the M20 when it's completed to Cork

This would be one piece of infrastructure that would help act as a counter balance to the Eastern Seaboard

We don't need to be spending our budget surpluses in another jurisdiction

Indeed.  Dublin's surpluses shouldn't be spent on backwaters like Laois

We are well connected with both motorway and rail connections

Well done on showing up your Stephen Nolan levels of ignorance about the Republic.

Now back to getting your begging bowl out

State of Ya

Getting riled up because you want to spent Tax money from the Republic on this Road

How about spend your own money on your own roads or what the British decide to give ye and stop always having the hand out

I'm sure west Brits like you weren't complaining when the EU was pumping money into infrastructure projects over the last 30 years. In any case, the A5 is a strategic arterial route whether you've your partitionist tinted glasses on or not.

Its like slow learners day here.

Demanding money off the Irish Government for Casement which ye have made a balls of and now this..

The Republic of Ireland is a seperate country and is well within its rights to spend its tax take within its borders as it sees fit.

A Letterkenny to Tuam Motorway would be a much more significant strategic investment for the Irish taxpayer taking in the likes of Sligo and connecting up the whole of the West as has already been pointed out.

As regards the EU,Yes we made use of the funding as we were and are part of the EU,We have been a net contributor for some time now

Maybe Northern Ireland as one of the poorest regions in the whole of Western Europe can access Eu Funding to improve its existence

Oh wait ......

Wouldn't even engage with the likes of that. 14 posts and on a wind up. Probably Jamie Brysons mate

Ye lads are like the agressive beggar at the traffic lights with the squidgee.

No we dont want to pay for your road

We have more than enough things that we need to address in the Republic of Ireland

[clonadmad]

Such aggression and name calling being shown

When people from the South explain that they want their taxes spent on their own country's infrastructure and in other areas which also badly need to be addressed.

The Reality is Ye are part of a different country whether ye like or not and ye need to get the funding from his Majesty's Government as ye don't have a parliament of your own at the minute.

Another west brit. 

The 26 county government has already said it will pay millions to upgrade this road.

Who needs the TUV when lads like you are about.

Indeed Dougal

[Franko]

This one got a couple of decent bites anyway 

[StephenC]

As someone from Letterkenny I can tell you that I want both a motorway to Dublin AND to Galway. But any Donegal person will tell you that the Dublin connection and the improvement of the A5 is the first priority.

[Dougal Maguire]

This one got a couple of decent bites anyway 

It did indeed. I'm from Armagh and thankfully I don't use the road on a regular basis, however the A5 is a very raw nerve for many people, particularly those who live close to it and have either lost loved ones or live in fear of losing loved ones, therefore I don't think it's fair for anyone to use it for wind up purposes.
