800. Deputy Mattie McGrath asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will request a company (details supplied) to complete its sub-standard drainage works on the M8 at Cahir, south County Tipperary which is causing dangerous levels of water pooling; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [7804/14]
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 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.
