200. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Transport if a roads project (details supplied) in County Kerry will be funded in order to progress in 2022, given the importance of the continuation of this project for the social and economic life of the district it serves; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [48929/21]
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 operation and upgrading 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.
Noting the above position, I have referred your question to TII for a direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.
