Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 19 July 2012
822 Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will provide the National Roads Authority roads maintenance budget and actual costs by county for national roads here for the past seven years; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [36330/12]
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 are matters for the National Roads Authority (NRA) 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. She should advise my private office if she does receive a reply within ten working days.
