As Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport and roads.

The National Transport Authority (NTA) has statutory responsibility for the planning and development of public transport infrastructure in the Greater Dublin Area and our regional cities. Noting the NTA's responsibility in the matter, I have referred the Deputy's question to the NTA for a direct reply. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 days.

The improvement and maintenance of regional and local roads is the statutory responsibility of the relevant local authority in accordance with the provisions of Section 13 of the Roads Act 1993. Works on those roads are funded from the Council's own resources supplemented by State road grants. Each local authority is the contracting authority for the purpose of implementation of regional and local road improvement projects.

In the case of national roads Transport Infrastructure Ireland in conjunction with the relevant local authority is responsible for the implementation of road improvement schemes.

I would point out that cost estimates for road improvement schemes are reviewed at project development milestones and allowing for cost inflation and project implementation risks are subject to change. The Total Scheme Budget at the point of the award of the main construction contract forms the basis for assessing the cost outturn once the final account for a scheme is settled.

In relation to the road PPP projects, the PPP company is responsible for construction and carries the budget risk for the project.

The details for road projects in development or completion in 2019 are included in the following table.
