    M04 - Extension to Longford
    M07 - Extension to M50
    M20 - Cork to Limerick
    M21 - Patrickswell to Abbeyfeale
    M25 - Cork to Rosslare
    M45 - Leinster Outer Orbital Route
    M02 (NI) - Extension to Coleraine

    MOTORWAYS: INTERMEDIATE PROJECTS > 20km or > 10km Urban (NEW BUILD)
    M06 - Galway City Outer Bypass
    M22 - Ovens to Macroom
    M24 - Cahir East to Clonmel N76 Jct.
    M40 - Cork Northern Ring Route

    MOTORWAYS: MINOR PROJECTS < 15km (NEW BUILD)
    M05 - Castlebar East to Bohola

    M04 - Jct. 13 to Jct. 15
    M11 - Jct. 6 (Bray) to Jct. 12
    M18 - Jct. 4 to Jct. 6


    MOTORWAYS: RE-DESIGNATED FROM HQDC (MINOR CIVIL WORKS)
    M01 - Dundalk to Newry

    Why do you have
    M01 (NI) - Dungannon to Ballygawley
    down as a New Build? It would surely fall under either 'Upgrade from DC or Redesignated from DC as it is an excellent quality DC as it stands?

    Also how do you calculate the M2 upgrade to Colerane, is that a brand new motorway running from the M22-M2 split (as originally planned) or again do you actually mean Upgrade from DC, and do the badly needed A26 upgrade M2-M2(Ballymena) and then much simpler upgrade of A26 Ballymena-Drones Road, then motorway onward to Colerane (approx 22km)?

    A lot of the proposals I can see HQDC being an easier sell.
