Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Toll Increases and Ongoing Projects: Discussion with Transport Infrastructure Ireland

Mr. Peter Walsh:

Exactly. Up until now, we typically did not present the potential benefits that a bypass made available as something we were delivering because they were outside our remit. We have now been asked to consider those. It may well be that we can associate them with the project. In most of our projects, the benefits are largely assessed – the monetised ones certainly are – in terms of time savings and safety. The benefits that the Deputy described within the bypassed town are only marginally captured within the project’s business case.
