Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 14 February 2012
740 Deputy Patrick Nulty asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the reason the National Roads Authority has failed to honour commitments given to residents to engage in tree planting along the M50 motorway; the reason for the delay; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [7590/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for overall policy and funding in relation to the national roads programme. The construction, improvement and maintenance of individual national roads, is a matter for the National Roads Authority under the Roads Acts 1993 to 2007 in conjunction with the local authorities concerned.
Noting this I have referred the Deputy's question to the NRA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you don't receive a reply within 10 working days.
