I propose to take Questions Nos. 34 and 44 together.
Regarding the classification of the widened Naas Bypass project I can confirm that the widened Naas Bypass will remain a motorway.
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 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 question to TII for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.
A referred reply was forwarded to the Deputy under Standing Order 42A.
Question No. 35 answered with Question No. 10.
