I propose to take Questions Nos. 1234, 1256 to 1261, inclusive, 1263, 1265 to 1280, inclusive, and 1282 together.
As Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, I have responsibility for overall policy and funding in relation to the national roads programme. The planning, design and operation of individual roads is a matter for Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) under the Roads Acts 1993-2015 in conjunction with the local authorities concerned. Within the budget available to it, the allocation of funding to individual projects is a matter for TII.
The first five year reporting period for the National Development Plan is 2018 to 2022 and indicative Exchequer costs are being compiled by TII for this period. This will form the basis for updating the Capital Tracker which is published by the Department for Public Expenditure and Reform.
Noting the above position, I have referred the Deputy's questions to TII for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you don't receive a reply within 10 working days.
