513. Deputy Sean Sherlock asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the research that has been carried out to alleviate traffic congestion on the south link road in Cork city, the Jack Lynch tunnel, the north ring road, the N40 and N20; and the actions he plans to take in the next six months to alleviate traffic congestion. [22524/18]
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 operation of individual roads is a matter for Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) under the Roads Acts 1993-2015 in conjunction with the local authorities concerned.
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.
