The planning, design and implementation of national road improvement projects is a matter for the National Roads Authority, NRA, and the local authorities concerned, in this case, Dublin City Council. However, I understand from the NRA and Dublin City Council that the Dublin Port tunnel, DPT, is expected to be completed in July 2005. In parallel with the opening to traffic of the Dublin Port tunnel in 2005, I understand that Dublin City Council will be introducing a heavy goods vehicle traffic management strategy to ensure that maximum traffic benefits are secured from the DPT. The development and implementation of this strategy is primarily a matter for Dublin City Council.
