Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 13 July 2011
216 Deputy Robert Troy asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will review current criteria in order to enable private tourist facilities to advertise on the brown signs on national primary routes in the interest of enhancing tourism. [20144/11]
View answerAs Minister for Transport, Tourism & Sport, I have responsibility for overall policy and funding in relation to the national roads programme. The planning, design and implementation of individual road projects, including signage, is a matter for the National Roads Authority (NRA) under the Roads Acts 1993 to 2007 in conjunction with the local authorities concerned. Noting the above position, I have referred the Deputy's question to the NRA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.
