Narrow Water Bridge

Fianna Fáil is committed to delivering the Narrow Water Bridge project. After so much progress has been made in terms of planning and securing funding from Europe, it is tragic that Project has been mothballed by this Government. For the people of the Cooley Peninsula and the Mourne region of South Down this project is of vital importance. This project is both hugely symbolic and vital to the economic interests of the area. My Party has demanded that the Government include this project in the Capital Plan. Unfortunately, it has only been included as a vague aspiration with no clear funding allocation. Due to Fine Gael and Labour’s short-sightedness, the project is unlikely to be progressed for many years to come.
