641. Deputy Noel Rock asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if funding can be sourced to provide traffic lights and a junction (details supplied) within the budget for 2017 following the loss of this funding due to planning objections in 2015; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerThe National Transport Authority (NTA) has responsibility for the development and implementation of public transport infrastructure projects in the greater Dublin area (GDA), including a programme of sustainable transport measures grants.
Funding is provided by my Department to the NTA for capital projects under this grants programme for investment in various projects, including traffic management projects, throughout the seven local authority areas in the GDA.
Noting the NTA's responsibility in the matter, I have referred your question to the authority for a direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.
