566. Deputy Brendan Smith asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the estimated number of unofficial Border crossings with Northern Ireland in addition to the 208 public road Border crossings; the location of such crossings; the classification of the roads leading to such crossing points; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [53150/18]
View answerMy Department recently worked with the Department for Infrastructure in Northern Ireland to determine and agree on public road border crossings on the island of Ireland. The resulting Report is available on my Department’s website together with the associated 'crossings point data' set.
The process in preparing the Report involved joint working prior to a final agreement on the number and type of public road border crossings. Unofficial border crossings were outside the scope of the Report.
