Mr. Garret Doocey:

There are two aspects to our roads programme. There is the national roads programme, which we manage through TII. That is a very successful arrangement which has been in place since the mid 1990s through the old NRA and has successfully delivered the road network that we know and use across the country. TII then manages that on our behalf. That model works very well. We then have the regional and local roads programme for the regional and local roads network. We manage that directly through the Department in conjunction with the local authorities. I should have said TII manages the national road network with the local authorities as well. I think those arrangements work between the division between national roads and regional local roads-----
