Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 14 January 2015
1008. Deputy Tom Fleming asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will liaise with the National Roads Authority and the Road Safety Authority regarding the urgent need for essential improvement to road safety on the Killarney to Farranfore national primary road; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [1287/15]
View answerAs I indicated to the Deputy in my response to PQ 40801/14 of 23 October, 2014 as Minister for Transport, Tourism & 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; in this case Kerry County Council. 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.
