Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 14 May 2015
237. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the amount of funding granted in respect of a road (details supplied) in County Kerry; the purpose and location for the spending of the funding in the years 2011 to 2014 and in 2015 to date; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [19009/15]
View answerAs 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 those on the N70 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 don’t receive a reply within 10 working days.
