Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 2 December 2014
604. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport his views on recent reports of objects being thrown over motorway over-passes (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [46170/14]
View answerAs Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, I have responsibility for overall policy and funding relating to the national roads programme. The planning, design and implementation of individual road projects and the management of the motorway network 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. The Deputy should advise my private office if he does not receive a reply within ten working days.
