Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 5 November 2013
1298. Deputy Tom Fleming asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the progress to date regarding the Macroom bypass; the timeframe for commencing and developing the route; regarding the Adare bypass, when the review and revised plans will be prepared; and if he will ensure that both projects are high priority on the National Roads Authority national roads plan. [47120/13]
View answerThe planning, design and implementation of individual road projects is a matter for the National Roads Authority (NRA) under the Roads Acts 1993 to 2007 in conjunction with the local authorities concerned.
Within its capital budget, the assessment and prioritisation of individual projects is a matter in the first instance for the NRA in accordance with Section 19 of the Roads Act.
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.
