Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 21 June 2016
519. Deputy Robert Troy asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport his plans to upgrade the N4 road between Mullingar, County Westmeath and County Longford; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [16696/16]
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 (such as the N4 Mullingar to Longford) is a matter for Transport Infrastructure Ireland (formerly known as the NRA) under the Roads Acts 1993-2015 in conjunction with the local authorities concerned.
Noting the above position, I have referred the Deputy's question regarding the N4 to TII for direct reply. I ask the Deputy to please advise my private office if he does not receive a reply within 10 working days.
