Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 15 November 2016
680. Deputy Robert Troy asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport when funding will be allocated to the N2 Corracrin-to-Emyvale road project in order to allow the planning stage to progress; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [34696/16]
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 operation of individual road projects is a matter for Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) (formerly known as the NRA) under the Roads Acts 1993 to 2015 in conjunction with the local authorities concerned.
Noting the above position, I have referred the Deputy's question to TII for direct reply. The Deputy should advise my private office if he does not receive a reply within ten working days.
The referred reply under Standing Order 42A was forwarded to the Deputy.
