Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 9 July 2009
469 Deputy Thomas P. Broughan asked the Minister for Transport the final cost for the construction of the Dublin Port tunnel; if further plans for the payment will be made to a company (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [29825/09]
View answerAs Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for overall policy and funding in respect of the national roads programme element of Transport 21. The implementation of individual national road projects, including the Dublin Port Tunnel, are matters for the National Roads Authority (NRA) under the Roads Act, 1993 in conjunction with the local authorities concerned. The construction of the Dublin Port Tunnel project was procured by Dublin City Council and funded through the NRA. In relation to cost matters, I understand from the NRA that the final accounts are near resolution, at which point it will be possible to determine the final cost.
