Minister for Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government

My Department has no involvement in the operation of this system. Traffic management is a matter for local authorities and therefore, not proper to this Department. The Department has not had any feedback from local authorities on Traffic or Transport Assessments or on TRICS.
