Joint Oireachtas Committee on Rural and Community Development

Regional and Rural Transport Policy: Discussion

7:00 pm

Mr. Dominic Mullaney:

Westport to Turlough is a duel road. Ballaghaderreen to Scramogue is a single lane road. The simple reason is that the decision is made based on the volume of traffic, especially heavy goods vehicles, HGVs. Transport Infrastructure Ireland, TII, has to go to An Bord Pleanála, justify the land take and the proposed road, and has to make a call on what capacity will be needed on these roads in the future.
