Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 9 November 2017
222. Deputy Robert Troy asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport his plans to ensure that Fáilte Ireland and Transport Infrastructure Ireland, TII, adhere to an agreement reached with representatives of the golf course industry to erect motorway signposting for those courses that receive the quality and standards certification. [47340/17]
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 operation of individual roads is a matter for Transport Infrastructure Ireland under the Roads Acts 1993-2015 in conjunction with the local authorities concerned.
TII has, therefore, overall responsibility for signposting on the national road network and TII's 'Policy on the Provision of Tourist and Leisure Signage on National Roads' publication provides detailed guidance in relation to tourist-leisure and advertising-commercial signage.
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.
