The County Convention unanimously supported the following statement on the progress of the A5 WTC project this evening.
“Tyrone GAA, once again, call upon DfI to confirm the immediate and full delivery of the A5 dual-carriageway.
The existing A5 road has caused undue carnage, resulting in needless deaths, injuries and trauma for far too many years.
Tyrone GAA stands in full solidarity with the families of all the victims of the A5. We commend the bravery of these families speaking out against this great injustice and thank them for their commitment to the new A5.
The people of Tyrone and beyond have made it clear that ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
The Department’s ongoing discussions with contractors is noted and welcomed by us and, therefore, we believe that there should be no further impediment to the commencement of the entire scheme next year (ie. 2024).”
