Public Accounts Committee

Transport Infrastructure Ireland: Financial Statements 2016

9:00 am

Mr. Michael Nolan:

It is important to say TII is a prescribed consultee in respect of land use. It is not a planning authority. We take into account zoned lands in towns, cities and villages in developing projects and estimating demand, including future demand. When we are designing junctions, including controlled junctions, we take into account capacity arrangements, the contiguous planning aspirations of local authorities and what is in an SDZ and county or town development plan. However, TII is not a planning authority per se. We agree that good infrastructure, including good junctions and controlled junctions, provides capacity and for safe turning movements to access these areas.
