Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 24 July 2018
2304. Deputy Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the status of the transport strategy being prepared for the Cork metropolitan area which he referred to during the course of a Topical Issue debate on 17 January 2018; and when he expects such a strategy to be published. [35294/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs the Deputy is aware the National Transport Authority (NTA) has been supporting the preparation of the Cork Strategic Transport Plan being developed by Cork City and County Councils and also involving Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII).
I am advised by the NTA that the Plan is expected to be issued for consultation with a view to the plan being finalised by the end of this year. Given the NTA's responsibility in the matter, I have forwarded the Deputy's question to the Authority for a more detailed reply on the current status of the Plan. Please inform my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
