Councillor Donnelly said: "Today, people across West Tyrone gathered in Omagh to say loudly and clearly: enough is enough. Our region deserves safe and proper infrastructure. That starts with the A5 upgrade."
 
"The testimony we heard from bereaved families during today’s session of the public inquiry was utterly devastating. Communities and families have been torn apart by the loss inflicted as a result of the failure to deliver this project. I would also like to thank Tyrone GAA for spearheading the latest civic initiative to provide our local community with the platform to make their voice heard.
 
"There has been enough dither and delay. It is long past time that we moved to delivery, and Alliance will continue to push the Department for Infrastructure to ensure we get this crucial upgrade across the line."
