Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 18 April 2012
1408 Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if funding will be made available for a road (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [18371/12]
View answerAs Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, I have responsibility for overall policy and funding in relation to the national roads programme. The upkeep 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 the above position, 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.
