Question:

55 Mr. Wall asked the Minister for Transport his policy direction to the NRA in relation to the provision of service areas on motorways to which the NRA should operate. [21246/05]

Written answers

Minister for Transport (Mr. Cullen)

I have not issued any policy direction to the National Roads Authority, NRA, concerning the provision of service areas on motorways. However, my Department has requested the NRA to review, as a matter of urgency, its policy on the provision of service areas. The NRA has been specifically asked to consider the merits of locating such service areas on motorways as well as at, or close to, motorway interchanges.
