What SF Wants, SF Gets
14 February 2012
Statement by TUV leader and North Antrim MLA Jim Allister:
“Today’s announcement on the A5 confirms that in the Executive what Sinn Fein wants, Sinn Fein gets.
“Just three months ago the Republic of Ireland withdrew and Minister Wilson told us through the BBC that “the road cannot be funded”. Today he announces we’ll build a large chunk of the A5 for the Republic.
“I must ask where is the Business Case for the A5 project he has approved, or is due process trumped by political expediency? Patently so. If it were not so, then, then projects such as the A26 duelling would be getting approval because it meets the traffic volume criteria , where the A5 does not.
“It was telling that when I challenged the Minister in the House as to where the A5 Business Case was he had no answer!”
