Dáil Éireann Debate, Monday - 11 September 2017
1520. Deputy Niamh Smyth asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the position regarding works which have been announced for a road (details supplied); the timeframe for same; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [37164/17]
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 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.
I have, therefore, 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.
