Paul Connaughton

Ceist:

79 Mr. Connaughton asked the Minister for Transport if, as Minister with responsibility for the National Roads Authority, NRA, he will formally request the NRA to supply quarterly reports on its road-building and upgrading activities in view of the commitment given by the authority to a recent meeting of the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Transport to do so; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [36034/05]

Minister for Transport (Mr. Cullen)

The NRA has undertaken to provide, on a regular basis, information to the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Transport on the national roads improvement programme. The last NRA report to the committee was in May 2005. The NRA proposes to submit an updated report to the Committee shortly. In the circumstances a request to the NRA, as suggested by the Deputy, is not considered necessary.
