Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport
National Roads, Light Rail and Metro: Discussion
2:00 am
Louis O'Hara (Galway East, Sinn Fein)
The reason I bring it up is that we have a national road in my constituency, the N67, which passes through the village of Kinvarra. There have been a number of accidents in the village recently. It is a very busy road. It is extremely dangerous and I know there have been efforts for a very long time to get a number of pedestrian crossings put in to make it safer for people in the local area. I am told the latest on it is that Galway County Council is doing a design plan with a number of crossings, which it will submit to TII. What will TII consider when it receives a proposal like that? How quickly can it make a decision once a proposal is received?
