206. Deputy Tom Fleming asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the position regarding the hazardous state of a road (details supplied) in County Kerry as urgent improvements are required to existing traffic calming; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [40801/14]
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 N22 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 regarding the N22 to the NRA for direct reply. Will the Deputy please advise my private office if he does not receive a reply within ten working days.
