Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 28 January 2014
801. Deputy Tom Fleming asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will provide the necessary funding to address a dangerous lag in the vicinity of a person's house (details supplied) in County Kerry; if he will request the Road Safety Authority to immediately investigate this health and safety issue; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [3805/14]
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 (including maintenance projects on national roads) 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.
