Written answers

Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport

As Minister for Transport, Tourism & Sport, I have responsibility for overall policy and funding in relation to the national roads programme and in this context my Department is liaising with TII in relation to the outcome of Budget 2018 and the Capital Plan Review. 

Within its budget, it is a matter for TII for decide on individual allocations, with the approval of its Board. I have, therefore, 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.
