Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 22 September 2015
1582. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will ensure that the National Roads Authority prioritises the need for an extension of a footpath on the Killarney-Killorglin Road in the townland of Dromin, County Kerry; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [31615/15]
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 is a matter for Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII), formerly the National Roads Authority (NRA) under the Roads Acts 1993 to 2015 in conjunction with the local authorities concerned.
Noting the above position, I have referred the Deputy’s question to the TII for direct reply. I ask the Deputy to please advise my private office if he does not receive a reply within 10 working days.
