I should point out that my remit covers only the network of National roads. This amounts to some 5% of the total network of roads in the State. With the exception of a small number of Toll roads, the national road network is outside of the commercial arena and it would be misleading to ascribe a commercial monetary value to it. In the lifetime of this Government approximately €9.4 billion has been invested in the national roads network. Under Transport 21 a further €15 billion of national road investment is planned.
