Deputy Dara Calleary asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if an application has been received from Mayo County Council to fund the construction of a relief road around Ballina, County Mayo, linking the N26 to the N59; if his attention has been drawn to the urgent need for the project; and if the necessary funding will be provided.

Amharc ar fhreagraAs Minister for Transport, Tourism & Sport, I have responsibility for overall policy and funding in relation to the national roads programme. Under the Roads Acts 1993-2015, the planning, design and construction of individual national roads is then a matter for Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII), in conjunction with the local authorities concerned.
Noting the above position, I have referred your question to TII for a detailed reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.
