Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport

National Roads, Light Rail and Metro: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Lorcan O'Connor:

I will let Ms Geraldine Fitzpatrick talk about some of the specific projects the Deputy has mentioned. What is likely to change in the next couple of weeks is that we will see, for the first time, a five-year sectoral plan published by the Department of Transport. The way in which we and various other delivery agencies have operated in recent years is typically in 12-month tranches of funding. This will finally allow us to plan over a five-year programme, which allows us to have a more coherent, comprehensive, strategic approach around progressing a portfolio of projects. That will certainly be a positive development heretofore. Perhaps Ms Fitzpatrick might be able to speak about the specific projects.
