Text

Minister, under your watch, many miles of posts and wire fencing were put up along the A5 western transport corridor. However, in the past few weeks, a good bit of that has been removed by a mechanical digger and pushed into a pile for dumping. Do you accept that that is an outrageous waste of public money — it happened under your watch — especially when you consider that we have some of the worst roads in western Europe?
