Mr. Gareth Llewellyn:

I thank the Deputy for the question. As he rightly pointed out, I cannot answer on the detail of what he just said.

As a more general point, the TII works very closely with local authorities because they are the roads authorities for the national, regional and local roads within their boundaries. TII is not a roads authority, which may be something that we will need to address at some point in the future. As I understand it, the relationship between TII and the local authorities is pretty good because there is a network of 11 local authority national roads offices throughout the country, which work remarkably well. That probably does not answer the Deputy's specific questions, but I am sure somebody from TII is watching this and taking notes on letters that will need to be written in response to Deputies, etc.

I will ensure that somebody from TII comes back to the Deputy with the detail. I think I have already addressed the point about what we can do when something happens to reduce the delays. Whether that is through dynamic traffic management or through actions by the Garda, I am not entirely sure, but I will pick it up with TII.
