00:00Can I ask the Minister for an update on the A2 Bunkrana road, please?

00:04The Member will be aware that the A2 Bunkrana road works were suspended as a result of a

00:10decision made during when the Executive and the Assembly was down. The Bunkrana road is

00:17now part of the discussions around transport strategy and will move forward as part of

00:22that overall policy.

00:25That is very welcome for the people of Derry and for the people of Donegal, who use this

00:33road on a daily basis. What engagement has your Department had with schools and local

00:39businesses around this?

00:42Part of the development of the north-west transport plan will also involve discussions

00:46with relevant stakeholders. Businesses, schools and the local community are key to that, so

00:52there will be ongoing discussions with those stakeholders.
