Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 30 September 2020
58. Deputy Sean Sherlock asked the Minister for Transport if he is in receipt of a study relating to the N25 Castlemartyr relief road; the expected cost of the project; and his views on whether the project will take eight years from construction. [27593/20]
View answerAs Minister for Transport 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 this context, TII is best placed to advise you on the status of this project.
Noting the above position, I have referred the Deputy's question to TII for a direct reply. I ask him to advise my private office if he does not receive a reply within 10 working days.
