Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 21 May 2013
715. Deputy Seán Kenny asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the number of times and dates in 2011 and 2012 that the National Roads Authority had the M50 litter picked and road markings re-marked; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24033/13]
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 road projects as well as their subsequent maintenance and upkeep 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.
