Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 25 May 2011
234 Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if pyrite was used in the road foundations; if so, the locations of same; if remedial action has been taken; if so, the action taken; the cost and the budget from which it was taken; if there are estimates for work yet to be carried out; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12949/11]
View answerAs Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for overall policy and funding in relation to the national roads programme . The construction, improvement and maintenance of individual national roads is a matter for the National Roads Authority under the Roads Acts 1993 to 2007 in conjunction with the local authorities concerned.
Noting this I have referred the Deputy's question to the NRA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you don't receive a reply within 10 working days.
