Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 3 October 2017
517. Deputy Jan O'Sullivan asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he has given consideration to include funding for the Drogheda northern port access route in the forthcoming capital plan review; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [41341/17]
View answerThe improvement and maintenance of regional and local roads in County Louth is the statutory responsibility of Louth County Council, in accordance with the provisions of Section 13 of the Roads Act 1993. Works on those roads are funded from local authorities' own resources supplemented by State road grants. The initial selection and prioritisation of works to be funded is also a matter for the local authority.
My Department has no grant application on hand in relation to the proposed Drogheda Northern Cross Port Access road and the project is not under consideration for funding at present.
