  1. Debate contribution: Road Infrastructure: Craigavon Area Hospital

    I thank the Minister for giving way. Minister, you outlined how difficult it will be for anything to happen in the immediate future, but, as I said in my contribution, there are perhaps some things that we can do to increase traffic flow in the short term. Will you task your officials with looking into the frequency…

  2. Debate contribution: Road Infrastructure: Craigavon Area Hospital

    The Minister makes a really good point. We call them the Black Paths. The Minister will know where we are talking about. If people were to use the Black Paths a lot more, by walking, cycling or whatever, the Minister is absolutely right to say that that would alleviate an awful lot of the problems. One of the real…

  3. Debate contribution: Road Infrastructure: Craigavon Area Hospital

    I thank the Minister for giving way. We know that the roads are in a terrible condition and that funding is much needed, regardless of where you are in Northern Ireland, but I give her this scenario: statistics show that the area between Lurgan and Craigavon Area Hospital is in the worst state that it has ever been in…

  4. Debate contribution: Road Infrastructure: Craigavon Area Hospital

    Go raibh maith agat, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle. I thank Mr Beattie for securing this important debate on concerns about the road infrastructure leading to Craigavon Area Hospital. The issue is important to me, as a Newry and Armagh MLA and a former member of the Health Committee. I listened intently to Members as they…

  5. Debate contribution: Road Infrastructure: Craigavon Area Hospital

    You gave way; I thought that you had finished. You painted a really good picture of what it is like beyond the immediate area of Craigavon Area Hospital. You raised some really good points, but here is a fundamental one: even if you have shuttle buses to put people on that are well timed and easy to access, they still…

  6. Debate contribution: Road Infrastructure: Craigavon Area Hospital

    It is brilliant to see that the Infrastructure Minister has joined us for the debate. I know that, as a Newry and Armagh Minister, she will be aware of the state of the road network, especially in rural south Armagh. For example, driving on the road between Newtown and Armagh is like driving on the far side of the…

  7. Debate contribution: Road Infrastructure: Craigavon Area Hospital

    We are all aware of the importance of the high-quality healthcare that is provided in hospitals such as Craigavon Area Hospital and ar fud na hÉireann. Despite the challenges that clearly exist in the North’s health system, health workers continue to provide vital services every day. Sin ráite, tá rochtain ar na…

  8. Debate contribution: Road Infrastructure: Craigavon Area Hospital

    I absolutely agree with the Member. Adjusting the infrastructure is one thing, but adjusting behaviours after the community has become so settled with a certain infrastructure layout is a much harder task. I do not envy the Minister and her colleagues when it comes to achieving that behavioural change. I want to make…

  9. Debate contribution: Road Infrastructure: Craigavon Area Hospital

    This is why it is a really important discussion. What Mr Buckley said, and what you are saying, is that, in many ways, because the traffic is so bad, we are displacing it elsewhere. If you go on to the Bluestone Road first thing in the morning, for example, you will see motorists shooting along that road and heading…

  10. Debate contribution: Road Infrastructure: Craigavon Area Hospital

    I thank the Member for giving way. He has made an important point, but it is not just there. The wider Bocombra area has become a wonderful location for young families that have moved into it. Their concern stretches further in that the opening of an access point to the hospital through Lisnisky Lane would,…

  11. Debate contribution: Road Infrastructure: Craigavon Area Hospital

    I add my thanks to Mr Beattie for securing this important debate. I will not speak at length, because, in what is a rare event in the Chamber, I think that we are all singing off the same hymn sheet on many of these issues, which marks a nice change. Like MLA colleagues, I have engaged for some time with the trust,…

  12. Debate contribution: Road Infrastructure: Craigavon Area Hospital

    The Member has raised an important point. One of the main roads that could help to bypass the problem is the Northway. The Northway leads onto the M12 and then the M1; it is a major access point. Yet, if there is a car accident on the road, the whole network pretty much falls apart from Portadown to Craigavon and…

  13. Debate contribution: Road Infrastructure: Craigavon Area Hospital

    First, I thank my constituency colleague Doug Beattie for securing the Adjournment debate. It is a very important debate about a strategic asset located at the heart of our constituency, particularly for those from Portadown who live daily with the traffic implications around the hospital. This is significant. We are…

  14. Debate contribution: Road Infrastructure: Craigavon Area Hospital

    I thank the Member for giving way and for building up a really good picture of the road network around Craigavon Area Hospital. It is indeed a fairly congested and very busy place. Do you agree that, before there are any moves to open up roads that would impact on private developments, residents should be consulted…
