Public Accounts Committee

Transport Infrastructure Ireland: Financial Statements 2016

Mr. Michael Nolan:

We have a number of schemes and our briefing paper gives a good flavour of the ones that are in the preparation pool. There is a broad range of schemes, but our view is that we do not have enough. With the Department, we are working closely to develop the wherewithal to commence work on preparation of a number of schemes in 2018. We are informed by Government policy which will be set out in the national planning framework which, in turn, will give us the impetus to push a number of schemes. We have a broad portfolio of schemes that were suspended in 2008, 2009 and 2010. We will reactivate a number of schemes in the next year. We have reactivated some already. We have asked Monaghan County Council to reactivate the suspended N2 project from Monaghan to the Border. We are looking at a broad range of other schemes to reactivate-----
