Public Accounts Committee

Transport Infrastructure Ireland: Financial Statements 2020

9:30 am

Mr. Peter Walsh:

We have no plans at the moment. We have a motorway service area policy in development. The original thinking was that private enterprise would provide those services. It did not materialise and it was felt necessary that the State should intervene. That is where our current six come from. There have been significantly increased levels of provision from private enterprise and if that continues and is meeting the need, we have no intention of competing with it. A number of possibilities have been looked at. It would be a matter for our board and for the Department to identify what progresses.
