205. Deputy Paul Kehoe asked the Minister for Transport if he will provide an update on an emerging preferred route for the N3 to N4 link road and any work that has progressed between NTA, TII, Fingal, Kildare and South Dublin County Councils; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [23904/23]
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 this proposed project, including on engagement with other stakeholders.
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.
