In terms of local authorities trying to start projects or complete projects, the most available option to them is probably the minor works element or an alternative, certainly for projects of significance in reducing bottlenecks. One project on the N84 bypass in Ballinrobe has stalled for the past number of years due to issues around getting allocated funding through TII and the selection of a preferred route. In order to get that project up and running - it is now back at phase zero - it needs to get to a stage where they can allocate resources and get early planning in place as well as going for the existing plan. How does TII support local authorities in getting past phase zero and getting the project up and running?
