Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 28 January 2014
821. Deputy Jim Daly asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will provide an update from the National Roads Authority on its plans to upgrade the N71 in West Cork; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4108/14]
View answerAs Minister for Transport, Tourism and 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 such as the N71 is a matter for the National Roads Authority (NRA) under the Roads Acts 1993 to 2007 in conjunction with the local authorities concerned. Given that, I have referred the Deputy's Question to the NRA for direct response. If the Deputy does not receive a response within ten working days, please contact my private office.
