Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 28 June 2016
507. Deputy John Paul Phelan asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the current position of his Department and Transport Infrastructure Ireland on the need to upgrade the Waterford to Limerick N24; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17989/16]
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 road projects is a matter for the Transport Infrastructure Ireland (formerly known as the NRA) under the Roads Acts 1993-2015 in conjunction with the Local Authorities. Within its capital budget, the assessment and prioritisation of individual projects is a matter in the first instance for TII in accordance with Section 19 of the Roads Act.
Noting the above I have referred the Deputy's question to TII for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you don't receive a reply within 10 days.
