Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 28 February 2018
200. Deputy Robert Troy asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the status of plans to upgrade the N4 road prior to the shelving of this plan in 2011; if this route will become a dual carriageway or a motorway; if the preparatory work which was previously undertaken on this route can be used on this occasion; the timeframe for this project; and the stages this project will have to go through. [10395/18]
View answerAs 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 under the Roads Acts 1993-2015 in conjunction with the local authorities concerned. Within its capital budget, the assessment and prioritisation of individual projects is a matter in the first instance for TII in accordance with Section 19 of the Roads Act.
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 ten working days.
