Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 29 November 2016
737. Deputy Seamus Healy asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if funding will be made available to urgently address the need for a bypass of Tipperary town; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [37511/16]
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 is a matter for Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII), formerly the National Roads Authority (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 the TII for direct reply. The Deputy should advise my private office if he does not receive a reply within 10 working days.
