Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 28 January 2014
822. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the results of the survey carried out on a tunnel on the N71 between Kenmare and Glengariff; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4140/14]
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 road 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.
