A Donegal TD is pleading with the government to address the regional imbalance that exists between this region and other parts of the country when it comes to transport infrastructure.


It's hoped that some local projects could benefit in the latest allocation of funding being announced for North South projects later today.

377 million euro in funding will be confirmed by the Taoiseach later.


Already there are indications that 190 million will be used to develop rail infrastructure between Dublin, Belfast and Derry - improving line speed and capacity.

Money will also be announced for Dublin to Belfast bus services, development of ports to support offshore energy, and the Ulster Canal project.

Sinn Fein Deputy Padraig MacLochlainn says the local region has historically been neglected when it comes to critical infrastructure
