I propose to take Questions Nos. 143 to 145, inclusive, together.
As Minister for Climate, Energy, Communications and Transport, Tourism and Sport, I have responsibility for overall policy and securing exchequer funding in relation to the National Roads Programme. Under the Roads Acts 1993-2015 and in line with the National Development Plan (NDP), the planning, design and construction of individual national roads is a matter for Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII), in conjunction with the local authorities concerned. This is also subject to the Public Spending Code Guidelines and the necessary statutory approvals.
In relation to the N11/N25 Oilgate-Rosslare Project, the project is being funded through the Exchequer and there is no EU funding involved.
Noting the above position, I have referred your question to TII for a more detailed reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.
