Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 22 September 2015
1629. Deputy Peadar Tóibín asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the average daily volumes on the M3 for each of the past five years; the number of vehicles that needed to use the M3 each day to ensure that the State incurred no charges for each of the past five years; and the annual charge to the State for under-use of the M3 for each of the past five years. [31608/15]
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. Please advise my private office if you don’t receive a reply within 10 working days.
