Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 14 June 2016
585. Deputy James Lawless asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the status of a second bridge for Celbridge in County Kildare (details supplied); if he or the National Transport Authority plans to address this; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [15920/16]
View answerThe improvement and maintenance of regional and local roads (including bridges) in Kildare is the statutory responsibility of Kildare County Council, in accordance with the provisions of Section 13 of the Roads Act 1993-2015. The initial selection and prioritisation of works to be funded is also a matter for the Council. Traffic management in its area is a matter for the local authority, in conjunction with An Garda Síochána.
The assessment of options in relation to a new bridge at Celbridge is, therefore, a matter for consideration by Kildare County Council.
