Bernard Durkan

Ceist:

312. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Transport when funding allocated for the purpose of traffic management, inner versus outer relief road at Naas, County Kildare is likely to materialise given the urgency on the need for traffic management and the strong public support for one proposal over the outer relief road; if he plans to engage with the local authority in this regard in early date; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Minister for Transport

As Minister for Transport I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to the matters outlined in the Deputy's question, while the National Transport Authority (NTA) has responsibility for the planning and development of such projects and works in conjunction with the relevant local authorities, including Kildare County Council, to implement same.

Noting the NTA's responsibility in this matter, I have referred your question to them for a more detailed reply. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.

A referred reply was forwarded to the Deputy under Standing Order 51

Question No. 313 answered with Question No. 106.
