Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 18 September 2018
643. Deputy Thomas Byrne asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the amount spent to date on the M45 Dublin outer orbital road; and his plans to progress its construction in future capital plans. [37014/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs 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.
Noting the above position, and on the basis that the Deputy is referring to a proposed national road (M45 is not an official designation) I have referred the query to TII for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.
