Sinn Féin MLA Jemma Dolan has welcomed confirmation from the Minister for Infrastructure John O'Dowd that the Enniskillen Bypass scheme will go ahead as planned. The Fermanagh and South Tyrone MLA said it was "fantastic news" that the Minister for Infrastructure John O'Dowd has confirmed funding for the Enniskillen Bypass scheme will be fully met by the Executive.
In a statement issued to Northern Sound, Ms Dolan said; "Real concern for the project within local communities existed due to the British Government's disgraceful decision to pause funding for the Mid South West Growth Deal. However, today's announcement from Minister O'Dowd once again highlights Sinn Féin's commitment to promoting regional balance and continuing to build a fairer economy. The Enniskillen Bypass scheme will upgrade local roads, cut journey times and improve connections between the A4 Dublin and Sligo roads."
