I refer the Deputy to my response to his earlier Question in which it was explained that the statutory power to levy tolls on national roads, to make toll bye-laws and to enter into toll agreements with private investors in respect of national roads is vested in the National Roads Authority under Part V of the Roads Act, 1993, as amended. The issues raised by the Deputy are, accordingly, matters that are most properly dealt with by the National Roads Authority.
It is noted that the Deputy is now seeking additional information to that which was initially sought and provided by the NRA in connection with the Deputy’s previous question. Accordingly, noting the position outlined above, I have referred the Deputy’s supplementary questions to the NRA and asked them to provide the additional information sought, bearing commercial and contractual confidentiality in mind. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.
