Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 17 October 2017
481. Deputy Aindrias Moynihan asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if the positions of safety officer and safety adviser have been filled by Cork County Council in relation to the clearance of the route for the proposed N22, Macroom bypass presently being undertaken by a contractor for Cork County Council; the names of the persons appointed to those positions; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [43808/17]
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 road projects is a matter for Transport Infrastructure Ireland under the Roads Acts 1993-2015 in conjunction with the relevant local authority - in this case Cork County Council.
Noting the above position, I have referred the Deputy's question to TII for direct reply. Please advise my private office if a reply is not received within 10 working days.
