Byrne: Time to build the new A5 Bridge between Strabane and Lifford


Joe Byrne, SDLP MLA for West Tyrone, has called on Minister Danny Kennedy to show real commitment to the new A5 road’s project by proceeding with the building of the new bridge across the Finn at the Strabane/Lifford crossing. Joe Byrne made the call following a statement from Minister Kennedy on the recent meeting of the North/South Ministerial Council.

I believe strongly that the two governments must now show real intent towards the A5 project by building this bridge. It would be seen as a positive signal and would reassure the public at this time.


The time has come for DRD and the Department of Transport in the Republic to start construction on the bridge. This is a project which is badly needed for economic development in the North West.
