As 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 national road projects is a matter for Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) under the Roads Acts 1993-2015 in conjunction with the local authorities concerned.
I have, therefore, referred the Deputy's Question to TII for direct reply. Please advise my Office if you don't receive a reply within 10 working days work.
The deferred reply under Standing Order 42A was forwarded to the Deputy.
