Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 27 January 2015
597. Deputy Tom Fleming asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will arrange to have traffic calming measures installed in Barraduff Village, County Kerry, especially at the Killarney side, as traffic is travelling at an alarming speed; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [3544/15]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs Minister for Transport, Tourism & Sport, I have responsibility for overall policy and funding in relation to the national roads programme. The planning, design and implementation of individual road projects (including traffic calming measures on national roads) is a matter for the National Roads Authority (NRA) under the Roads Acts 1993 to 2007 in conjunction with the local authorities concerned. I understand that the village of Barraduff, Co. Kerry is on the N72 national road route.
Noting the position as outlined, 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.
