The issue of road realignment or bypass is a matter for the planning authorities concerned pursuant to their functions as planning authorities under planning legislation, taking account of roads and transport policies and legislation for which the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport is responsible, and the policies of the relevant agencies under the aegis of the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport.

In discharge of my role as a statutory consultee on draft local area plans under the Planning Acts, my Department will make observations to the relevant planning authorities as appropriate.
