778. Deputy Dessie Ellis asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will confirm that an upgrade to the M7 will not include a toll bridge, following the announcement of a €27 billion capital programme. [34663/15]
View answerAs Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for overall policy and funding in relation to the national roads programme. The construction, improvement and maintenance of individual national roads, is a matter for Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII - formerly known as the NRA) under the Roads Acts 1993-2015 in conjunction with the local authorities concerned.
The M7 upgrade scheme will not include the provision of a toll bridge.
