Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 22 September 2015
1653. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if funding will be provided for a section of roadway (details supplied) in County Kerry to be resurfaced; if the planning and design work on this scheme has been completed; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [32041/15]
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, formerly the National Roads Authority, 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 Transport Infrastructure Ireland for direct reply. I ask him to advise my private office if he does not receive a reply within 10 working days.
