Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 5 November 2013
1269. Deputy Seán Kyne asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if there is a national policy regarding the erection and retention of signage along national and secondary routes for the purposes of advising persons of the locations of heritage, craft and tourist facilities; and if his attention has been drawn to plans by local authorities to remove such signage which may very well prove detrimental to organisations in rural regions. [46268/13]
Amharc ar fhreagraPolicy on the provision of tourist and leisure signage on the national primary and secondary road network is a matter for the NRA. The NRA published their revised 'Policy on the Provision of Tourist & Leisure Signage on National Roads' in 2011 and it is available on the NRA website (www.nra.ie).
In light of the above, I have referred the Deputy's question regarding plans by local authorities to remove such signage to the NRA for a direct response. Please advise my office if you have not received a reply within 10 working days.
