Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 21 February 2007
89 Mr. G. Mitchell asked the Minister for Transport the final cost of completing the five major interurban routes; if he is satisfied that these projects have provided good value for money; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6593/07]
View answerAs Minister for Transport I have overall responsibility for policy and funding matters in relation to national roads. Under sections 17 and 19 of the Roads Act 1993 the National Roads Authority (NRA) are responsible for the detailed planning, design and implementation of the national roads programme including the major interurban routes, which will not be fully completed until 2010. The final cost will not be known until all tender procedures have been completed.
