Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 18 October 2011
566 Deputy Dessie Ellis asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport when he will make funding available to complete the constraints study for a new road at Kilkelly, County Mayo, and a motorway from Achrony in County Sligo to Knock in County Mayo; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [29757/11]
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 national road projects 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. The Deputy should advise my private office if he does not receive a reply within 10 working days.
