I propose to take Questions Nos. 434, 435 and 440 together.
As Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, I have responsibility for overall policy and funding in relation to the national roads programme element of Transport 21. The construction, improvement and maintenance of individual national roads, is a matter for the National Roads Authority (NRA) under the Roads Acts 1993 to 2007 in conjunction with the local authorities concerned. Noting this I have referred the Deputies' questions to the NRA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.
