My next question is for TII and perhaps the best way to deal with it is to send a note. I know it has centralised maintenance on the major motorway networks. TII states in the briefing notes that there are nine local authorities between Dublin and Cork on the M7 and M8, whereas TII has centralised this into three maintenance contracts outside of the public private partnerships. How does it ensure consistent standards in its level of maintenance? I am speaking about winter on the roads and dealing with snow and adverse weather conditions so there is consistency between the roads covered by TII and roads covered under the public private partnerships. The public does not know when it moves from one to another. How does TII maintain absolute consistency so that drivers do not get a sudden shock?
