Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 242 to 245, inclusive, together.
The planning and implementation of the A5 project, including management of the project budget and expenditure, are the responsibility of the Northern Ireland authorities.
The Stormont House Agreement and Implementation Plan - A Fresh Start - sets out the Government's commitment to contribute €75 million to ensure that Phase 1 of the project (Newbuildings to north of Strabane) can commence as soon as the necessary planning procedures in the North have been concluded.
As regards the N2, the planning, design and implementation of individual road projects is a matter for Transport Infrastructure Ireland under the Roads Acts 1993-2015 in conjunction with the local authorities concerned.
Noting the above position, I have referred the Deputy's questions to TII for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.
The referred reply under Standing Order 42A was forwarded to the Deputy.
