Written answers
As Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for overall policy and funding in relation to the national roads programme. Once funding arrangements have been put in place with Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII), under the Roads Acts 1993-2015 and in line with the National Development Plan (NDP), the upgrading, construction and management of individual national roads is a matter for TII in conjunction with the local authorities concerned. Matters relating to the day to day operations regarding national roads, including toll roads and the income yield therein, are within the remit of TII.
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 day
