Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Motorway Toll Charges: Transport Infrastructure Ireland
Mr. Peter Walsh:
Yes, we will.
As for the N4, from Mullingar to Longford and Roosky, we are conscious that the high level of head-on collisions in particular was highlighted. That section of road warrants intervention and we have been keen to progress that project, insofar as funds will allow, and we will continue that. Unfortunately, I cannot give the committee any definitive word today because we still have not had our money for 2023 confirmed by the Department. Whereas we brought forward a draft plan and budget to our board last month, we will have to bring back another one in December that will reflect the confirmed figures, provided we get those confirmed figures. As of today, we do not have them, so I cannot definitively say what level of funding the project will get.
