Durkan asked the Minister for Transport the current state of the proposals to alleviate traffic in Naas, County Kildare, which were rejected by the previous membership of Kildare County Council; if the plans have been revised, updated and improved to encompass more comprehensively the wishes of the Naas members of Kildare County Council and the residents in respect of their preferred options; when work is likely to commence on the project; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Written answers

Minister for Transport

As Minister for Transport I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to the matters outlined in the Deputy's question, while the National Transport Authority (NTA) has responsibility for the planning and development such projects and works in conjunction with the relevant local authorities, including Kildare County Council, to implement same.

Noting the NTA's responsibility in this matter, I have referred your question to them for a more detailed reply. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.
