Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 20 July 2016
433. Deputy Michael Moynihan asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport to provide an update on the progress of the proposed M20 bypass for Charleville, County Cork; to provide an expected timeframe to progress this project; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [23302/16]
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 (including the M20) is a matter for the Transport Infrastructure Ireland (formerly known as the NRA) under the Roads Acts 1993-2015 in conjunction with Cork County Council. 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.
