Ceist:

874. Deputy John Deasy asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the estimates that have been factored into the national planning framework with regard to the level of road and rail freight volumes over the period of the National Development Plan 2018-2027 and extending to Project Ireland 2040 in view of the population projections contained in both.

The estimates of population used in the National Planning Framework and the decisions which underpin them are a matter for my colleague the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government.

In the light of the predicted population growth and distribution as set out in the National Planning Framework, my Department will in conjunction with its agencies consider the implications of such growth in terms of roads, public transport, rail, ports and airports.

National transport models will be updated to ensure that the selection and sequencing of projects support the National Planning Framework and the National Development Plan.
