‘Delivering the A5 road will help save many lives’ says local MLA Colm Gildernew

Speaking at the public inquiry in Omagh on Tuesday, the Fermanagh and South Tyrone MLA said: “The A5, as described today in the A5 inquiry as the most dangerous road across our island, must be upgraded without delay.

“Delivering the transformation of the A5 road will save lives, save many families the devastation and heartbreak of losing a loved one and overall make this road safer for all.

“Alongside this, the transformation of the A5 will also create better infrastructure, improved access to healthcare, improved access to rural areas, improved access to vulnerable or isolated residents, boost tourism , economic benefits through the creation of jobs and connecting the north west to the rest of Ireland.”

Mr Gildernew urged people to have their say in support of this vital project at the public inquiry.
