Dáil Éireann Debate, Monday - 11 September 2017
1568. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will provide a crash barrier on a dangerous section of the road (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [37700/17]
View answerI understand that the section of road referred to by the Deputy is at a junction on the N22.
As Minister for Transport, Tourism & 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) under the Roads Acts 1993-2015 in conjunction with the local authorities concerned. This also applies to the maintenance and management of national roads. Noting the above position, I have referred the Deputy’s question to TII for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you don’t receive a reply within 10 working days.
