Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 19 December 2018
482. Deputy Niamh Smyth asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the funding provided by Transport Infrastructure Ireland to Cavan, Meath and Monaghan county councils since 2014 for maintenance works on national roads in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [53625/18]
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 maintenance, improvement and operation 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 direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.
