Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 10 March 2009
246 Deputy Damien English asked the Minister for Transport if he or his Department have had discussions with the National Roads Authority, the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government and Meath County Council with regard to the provision of a pedestrian footpath and lighting along the N3 road (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9731/09]
View answerAs Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for overall policy and funding in relation to the national roads programme element of Transport 21. The implementation of individual national road projects, including the matters raised by the Deputy, is a matter for the National Roads Authority (NRA) under the Roads Act, 1993, as amended by the Roads Act 2007, in conjunction with the local authorities concerned.
Neither I nor my officials have had any discussions regarding these matters with the bodies referred to by the Deputy.
