Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 17 September 2014
1669. Deputy Robert Troy asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will ensure funding is allocated for the following projects for which the National Roads Authority recently received submissions: minor realignment schemes at N55 Ardagullion, N55 Ballymahon to Kilcurry, N63 Barnacor to Cloonfore, and N55 Ballymahon to Tang national roads projects, and the N4 Mullingar to Roosky scheme. [33006/14]
View answerThe planning, design and implementation of individual national road projects (such as those referred to by the Deputy) is a matter for the National Roads Authority (NRA) under the Roads Acts 1993 to 2007 in conjunction with the local authorities concerned.
Within its capital budget, the assessment and prioritisation of individual projects is a matter in the first instance for the NRA in accordance with Section 19 of the Roads Act.
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.
