As Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for overall policy and funding in relation to the national roads programme. The construction, improvement and maintenance (including lighting) of individual national roads, is a matter for Transport Infrastructure Ireland under the Roads Acts 1993 to 2007 in conjunction with the local authorities concerned. Within its capital budget, the assessment and prioritisation of individual projects is a matter in the first instance for the NRA in accordance with Section 19 of the Roads Act.
Noting this I have referred the Deputy's question to the TII for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you don't receive a reply within 10 working days.
