Question:
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure to outline the reasons for the delay in initiating the A4 Enniskillen Southern Bypass project.

Answer:

My Department’s major project portfolio is complex with a range of projects at various stages of development and delivery. Every project will have its own specific considerations but in common with all Departments, I am very mindful at present of the impact of the judgement in the A5WTC project which was extremely disappointing and where I have lodged an appeal.

It would not be appropriate for me to comment in detail on the judgement while the appeal is live but, as my officials work hard to prepare for the appeal hearing, I will also take the necessary time to carefully consider the potential impact of the judgement on other projects as they move through the next stages of their delivery, which will include the A4 Enniskillen Bypass.
