Last month three members of same family died in collision on road, Pearse Doherty says

Last month, three members of the same family died in a collision on the road, the Donegal TD said.

The Sinn Féin TD said that financing was reduced as a result of economic collapse in the State. Mr Doherty said the Government had “a crucial role to play and must match words with action and commitment with funding”.Mr Doherty added that the project was “critical” in order to “save lives and improve economic prospects of the entire northwest region”.

Mr McGrath acknowledged that upgrading the A5 was not just about improving infrastructure and opening up economic potential but also “road safety and saving lives”. The Fianna Fáil TD said the Government had committed to provide funding of £75 million but added there was a willingness to re-examine this issue, to “see what more we can do to help to bring about fruition of this project”.
