126. Deputy Joe McHugh asked the Minister for Transport the current status and next sequence of the three large scale projects that were secured in the 2040 Capital Plan in 2017, namely, the Twin Towns Bypass, the Lifford to Letterkenny and the Bonagee Bypass; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [44385/22]
View answerAs Minister for Transport I have responsibility for overall policy and 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 and the necessary statutory approvals. In this context, TII is best placed to advise you on the status of these projects.
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.
