Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 8 June 2016
642. Deputy John Curran asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport to have the signs on the N4 and M50 that have the incorrect spelling of the village of Palmerstown amended and replaced with the correct spelling, and not Palmerston as is currently in place. [14769/16]
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 national road projects 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.
Within its capital budget, the assessment and prioritisation of expenditure is a matter in the first instance for TII in accordance with Section 19 of the Roads Act.
Noting the above position, I have referred the Deputy's question to TII for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.
