Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 5 December 2018
273. Deputy Fergus O'Dowd asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the expected date on the commencement of the Ardee bypass; the expected length of time before completion; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [51062/18]
View answerAs Minister for Transport, Tourism & Sport, I have responsibility for overall policy and funding in relation to the national roads programme. Under the Roads Acts 1993-2015, the planning, design and construction of individual roads is a matter for the relevant road authority in relation to local and regional roads, or for Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) in conjunction with the local authorities concerned, in relation to national roads.
Noting the above position, I have referred the question to TII for a detailed and direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.
