Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport

National Roads, Light Rail and Metro: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Lorcan O'Connor:

I will let Ms Fitzpatrick speak to the two specific projects the Deputy talked about. He has a commitment of our ongoing engagement and support for the regional office in Mayo and with the Mayo local authority. Ultimately, however, in terms of the actual delivery of projects such as the one the Deputy described for phase 2 for Ballina, that is a factor of resourcing. Seeing it listed either within the sectoral plan or the national development plan or otherwise, we need that funding commitment in order to progress a project once it is agreed or identified by the local authority. However, we certainly will be happy to sit down and work with that local authority to see what is possible in that regard.
