Cllr Keith Martin recently met with the chair of the Oireachtas Committee on Enterprise, Labour's Deputy Willie Penrose, to discuss the issue of Enterprise in Mayo, and in particular to highlight the condition of the N5 road and its negative effect on possible future commercial development in Mayo.
Cllr Martin met with Deputy Penrose in Carrick-on-Shannon last week to discuss the challenge of getting investment into the west and in particular the dire condition of the N5 from Westport to Longford. Cllr Martin says "Deputy Penrose is well aware of the need to invest in the west to create employment and of the need for proper infrastructure to attract business investment. Deputy Penrose informed me that his Committee had recently met with IBEC and that the issue of the N5 was discussed in relation to Westport's pharmaceutical industry and future investment.
"Deputy Penrose as chair of the Oireachtas Enterprise Committee and as a TD for Longford is well aware of the need for a new N5.
"The issue of a new N5 and infrastructure investment such as high-speed broadband was also raised by Westport Chamber of Commerce and I, with the leader of the Labour Party, Deputy Eamon Gilmore during his recent visit to Mayo. It is fair to say that the Labour Party is well aware of our needs here in Mayo and I will continue to highlight our needs within the Labour Party and nationally."

I agree with you that a New N5 is important.
So is a Universally accessible Leisure Park in Westport at all costs and not a building flying a white flag.
Flags are totally useless for the people with disabilities.
Would you not agree, Cllr Keith Martin.

Absolutely!
What are the top five priorities for any new disability committees in Westport?
