237. Deputy Michael Colreavy asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the position regarding the upgrading of the N16 Sligo road as part of the TEN-T comprehensive road network; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24919/13]
View answerDiscussions are still underway in relation to the finalisation of the TEN-T Regulation and the relevant road maps. As Minister for Transport, Tourism & Sport, I have responsibility for overall policy and funding in relation to the national roads programme. Once the details of the TEN-T road network are settled upon any subsequent progress on individual road projects will be a matter for the National Roads Authority (NRA) under the Roads Acts 1993 to 2007 in conjunction with the local authorities concerned.
