Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 19 July 2012
828 Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he intends to merge the Irish Rail infrastructure team with the Railway Procurement Agency and National Roads Authority to create a single road and rail transport infrastructure authority for the State; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [36351/12]
View answerThere are no plans to merge the Irish Rail Infrastructure team with the National Roads Authority and the Railway Procurement Agency. In line with Government plans to rationalise the number of State agencies, the Government recently approved proposals for the merger of the NRA and RPA to create a single body which will be responsible for delivering and maintaining road and light rail infrastructure.
