Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 29 June 2016
200. Deputy Robert Troy asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport to outline the policy of Transport Infrastructure Ireland for granting permission to erect signs on motorways that provide information on facilities available in towns bypassed, that is, brown signs; and why permission is granted in some cases for towns to put up these information signs but not in other cases. [18636/16]
View answerAs Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for overall policy and funding in relation to the national roads programme. The planning, design and implementation of individual national roads, including issues relating to signage, are matters for the Transport Infrastructure Ireland under the Roads Acts 1993 to 2007 in conjunction with the local authorities concerned.
Noting this, 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 working days.
