Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 9 November 2021
202. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Transport if express lanes for HGVs will be put in place in line with other EU countries (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [53963/21]
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 management 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.
