Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 19 June 2014
212. Deputy Mick Wallace asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport in relation to the Oilgate to Rosslare roads scheme, if the proposed corridor can be narrowed in order to allow home owners in the area to sell their properties; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [26436/14]
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 do not receive a reply within 10 working days.
