Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 10 December 2013
567. Deputy Tony McLoughlin asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if funding for the N4 carriageway between Collooney and Castlebaldwin in County Sligo has been identified by his Department beyond the publication of documents and submission to An Bord Pleanála currently under way; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [52835/13]
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 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.
