Tyrone GAA has welcomed the Northern Ireland Executive’s decision to give the green light to the long-awaited upgrade of the A5 Western Transport Corridor.

Over 50 people have lost their lives on the existing A5 between Newbuildings outside Derry and Aughnacloy. Tyrone GAA shared a post from the ‘A5 Enough is Enough Group’ on its social media platforms which read: "The A5 Enough is Enough Group very much welcome the announcement to commence work on the section of the A5 dualling between south of Strabane and Ballygawley.

"Provision of a new dual carriageway along this section will greatly enhance road safety and reduce the horrendously high number of accidents and fatalities. The A5 has left a catastrophic and notorious legacy in this area with too many broken families devastated by its unsafe construct.

"We look forward to an imminent start, successful completion of this phase of the project and the remainder being similarly progressed in due course. Our thoughts, as always, remain with the families of victims of the A5."
