Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 4 October 2016
580. Deputy Pat Buckley asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport his plans to upgrade the road surface on the N25 Cork to Waterford road between Castlemartyr village and Youghal town in view of the fact it is in an extremely dangerous condition. [28151/16]
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 (such as the N25) 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 concerned.
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 this position, 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 ten working days.
The referred reply under Standing Order 42A was forwarded to the Deputy.
