Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 13 June 2023
291. Deputy Sean Sherlock asked the Minister for Transport further to Parliamentary Question No. 231 of 31 January 2023, if there is an update on the route considered; and if it is part of any specific road programme. [27855/23]
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 the N25 Midleton to Youghal project.
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.
