Ceist:435 Mr. Durkan asked the Minister for Transport the action being taken to deal with various accident blackspots throughout the country; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [23416/03]
Written Answers. - Road Safety.
Measures to deal with accident blackspots on the national road network are a matter for the National Roads Authority, NRA, and local authorities concerned.
As the Deputy will be aware, my Department provides an annual block grant to the NRA, which is responsible for allocating funding to local authorities in respect of projects on national roads.
The scheduling of any necessary remedial works at accident blackspot locations is a matter for the NRA, together with relevant local authorities, in the context of available resources under the NRA's remedial measures programme.
