Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 13 July 2023
229. Deputy Maurice Quinlivan asked the Minister for Transport the timeline for the completion of works on the Coonagh to Knockalisheen Road, Limerick; when he expects it to be completed; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [34857/23]
View answerThe improvement and maintenance of regional and local roads is the statutory responsibility of each local authority in accordance with the provisions of Section 13 of the Roads Act 1993. Works on those roads are funded from Councils' own resources supplemented by State road grants.
Limerick County Council is the contracting authority for the Coonagh to Knockalisheen Distributor Road project. The Council has advised my officials that works on the Ballygrennan Bridge which is over the Galway-Ennis railway line are now substantially complete.
Separately, contract documents are also being prepared to retender for the construction of the remainder of the project.
