Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Large-scale Capital Projects: Transport Infrastructure Ireland

Mr. Nigel O'Neill:

Mr. Walsh may do so if I can find a note on it. The preferred transport solution has been identified. An online event was organised for public representatives and so on. We hope elected members found it useful. The design team is overseen by Limerick City and County Council. It is working both on its own behalf and on behalf of Cork County Council. The national roads office down there is also involved. They are overseeing the design team. The project is in phase 3 and the design and environmental assessment is happening. The aim is to have a business case prepared this year. When we have that business case, we will be able to apply for approval gate 1 in the infrastructure guidelines, formerly the public spending code. When that approval gate 1, which is a Cabinet-level approval, comes back, we will be authorised to make the statutory approval application.
