Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 12 July 2016
773. Deputy Jackie Cahill asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he request Transport Infrastructure Ireland and Kilkenny County Council to expedite the registration of land (details supplied) under the M8-N8 Cullahill to Cashel road scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [21204/16]
View answerAs Minister for Transport, Tourism & 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 relevant council (in this case Kilkenny County Council).
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.
