Infrastructure minister Nichola Mallon. File picture by Mal McCann A £30 million bypass of Enniskillen has been given the go-ahead. The new road aims to cut congestion in the Co Fermanagh town and reduce journey times to counties Leitrim and Sligo. Infrastructure Minister Nichola Mallon announced her plans to proceed with the scheme. However, the Department for Infrastructure now needs to secure the £30m needed for the project. Roads expert Wesley Johnston said delays to the A5 scheme between Derry and the border near Aughnacloy in Co Tyrone may "well mean there is funding around". "It's obvious that there are a small number of bypasses that at the head of the queue," he said.
