627. Deputy Aindrias Moynihan asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the reason for the delay in the official naming of the road with regard to both Cork city and county councils' decision to honour the women of Cumann na mBan by naming the national road from the Jack Lynch Tunnel south westwards to the Ballincollig bypass; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [39994/16]
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 national 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 local authorities concerned.
Noting the above position, I have referred your question to TII for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you don't receive a reply within 10 working days.
The referred reply under Standing Order 42A was forwarded to the Deputy.
