Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 22 February 2005
259 Mr. Haughey asked the Minister for Transport when work on the Dublin Port Tunnel will be complete; the cost of this project; the tolling regime which will be in place; if the proposed heavy goods vehicles management strategy is ready; the measures being considered to prevent congestion on the M50 in this context; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5969/05]
View answerAs, in accordance with my decision of October 2004, the height of the DPT is not being increased and as the implementation of individual national road improvement projects is a matter for the NRA and the local authority concerned rather than my Department, the completion of the Dublin Port tunnel as designed, the implementation of a HGV traffic management strategy to coincide with the opening of the tunnel and other related issues, are matters for the NRA and Dublin City Council.
