172. Deputy Luke 'Ming' Flanagan asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the discussions he has had with his counterpart, Minister Hammond, in the UK in order to seek an exemption for the A5 in Northern Ireland and that this exemption would facilitate the commerce and trade between Republic of Ireland to Republic of Ireland HGV traffic when transiting through the Six Counties; the way in which this would operate as the A5 route cannot be accessed by hauliers coming from Donegal without first having to travel on a contributory road; if these contributory roads are also to be made exempt; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
