Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 15 January 2014
929. Deputy Martin Ferris asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport when traffic calming structures for the village of Templeglantine, County Limerick, will be put in place as a matter of road safety. [55486/13]
View answerI understand that the traffic calming measures being referred to by the Deputy are associated with the village of Inchabaun, which is a village located on the N21, rather than Templeglantine, which appears to be a townsland not located on a national or regional road.
As 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 (including traffic calming measures) 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.
