Dáil Éireann Debate, Monday - 11 September 2017
1513. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will address a matter regarding traffic calming measures in a village (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [37049/17]
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 national road projects (including traffic calming) is a matter for Transport Infrastructure Ireland 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.
Accordingly, I have referred the Deputy’s question to TII for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.
