Minister Chambers met with Dara Calleary, Brendan Mulroy and Paul McNamara on a recent visit to west Mayo.
Fianna Fail councillors Brendan Mulroy and Paul McNamara had a constructive meeting with Minister of State for Transport, Jack Chambers, TD, in relation to the funding required for the N59 project during the Minister's recent visit to Mayo.
The tender process for a significant investment into the Newport-Derrada section of the road is currently in progress. Both councillors pressed the Minister on the need to prioritise funding this investment, in particular from a road safety and regional development perspective, as well as a number of other areas.
Minister Chambers, who last week was announced as the new Deputy Leader of Fianna Fail, is a regular visitor to the Newport area where he has many relations. He committed to the councillors and to Minister of State, Dara Calleary, who organised the meeting, that he understood the importance and significance of the project and would revert to them following further consultation with TII.
