163. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Transport the number of fatalities and serious injuries caused to road users since 1990 on the N22 road between Farranfore village and the Lissivigeen roundabout on the Cork side of Killarney; if he is aware of these statistics and realises the danger of this road; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

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 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 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.
