Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 21 March 2023
297. Deputy Matt Carthy asked the Minister for Transport the National Road projects for which 2023 funding is dependent on match funding from EU sources such as the Connecting Europe Facility, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [13755/23]
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 EU linked 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.
