Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 9 February 2012
265 Deputy Denis Naughten asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the current status of the Strokestown bypass on the N5; the timetable for construction; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [7446/12]
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 (NRA) 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.
