Seán Fleming: We will put it on our work programme.
- Public Accounts Committee: Transport Infrastructure Ireland: Financial Statements 2016 (12 Oct 2017)
Seán Fleming: I will try conclude because I know some Deputies wish to come back a second time. The point is that this committee is not in a position to conclude on this matter because we do not have the information. I find it intriguing that the TII appears to invest taxpayers' money in some service stations on some motorways. There are other motorways where service stations of no significant...

Seán Fleming: It is Government policy, not TII's policy.

Seán Fleming: TII gets something out of it.
- Public Accounts Committee: Transport Infrastructure Ireland: Financial Statements 2016 (12 Oct 2017)
Seán Fleming: I note there is a very big increase in the 2016 accounts in the payment for the PPP for maintenance of the motorway and protecting the infrastructure over the previous year. Maybe it was because the M17 or M18 was coming on track. Mr. Nolan said funding from the Exchequer is very tight and TII does not have enough money to maintain the motorways at the level it would like to; that it could...

Seán Fleming: Mr. Nolan said TII has only half the funding to do this.
- Public Accounts Committee: Transport Infrastructure Ireland: Financial Statements 2016 (12 Oct 2017)
Seán Fleming: Right. I know Deputy Catherine Murphy will be very interested in this question. This morning, at 6.28 a.m., while coming from Portlaoise I came to a full stop on the junction after the M7 and M9 met between there and junction 10, south Naas. I see the Department has signed a contract for the Naas to Newbridge upgrade. When will the contractor be on site? It goes without saying that there...

Seán Fleming: There is also the Osberstown interchange.
- Public Accounts Committee: Transport Infrastructure Ireland: Financial Statements 2016 (12 Oct 2017)
Seán Fleming: TII gave us a great information note. It refers to the M7 Naas-Newbridge upgrade and says the scope of the design and build contract includes the Sallins bypass, the Osberstown interchange and the M7 and that these works will be funded separately by the Department. Why is the Department coming in with part of the funding for one big project? It is great and I can understand that when this...

Seán Fleming: Did the Department put out the tender for all of it?
- Public Accounts Committee: Transport Infrastructure Ireland: Financial Statements 2016 (12 Oct 2017)
Seán Fleming: If Mr. Mullaney knows the answer to this last local question he can tell me now, if not he can send me a detailed note on the Portlaoise-southern bypass route. I think the compulsory purchase order, CPO, process is in place. When does the Department expect work to commence? Is that being funded by the Department?
- Public Accounts Committee: Transport Infrastructure Ireland: Financial Statements 2016 (12 Oct 2017)
Seán Fleming: It will be 12 months at least before construction begins, from tendering and detailed design.
- Public Accounts Committee: Transport Infrastructure Ireland: Financial Statements 2016 (12 Oct 2017)
Seán Fleming: Is the Department sending us a list of the projects it is funding separately? We got very comprehensive documents from TII with all the road projects. Mr. Mullaney might send us a list of the ones the Department is dealing with directly.

Seán Fleming: When the Vote came up, but because the witnesses are here we will try to deal with all the roads today.
- Public Accounts Committee: Transport Infrastructure Ireland: Financial Statements 2016 (12 Oct 2017)
Seán Fleming: I am sorry for taking so much of the witnesses' time.
- Public Accounts Committee: Transport Infrastructure Ireland: Financial Statements 2016 (12 Oct 2017)

Seán Fleming: What is the national average?
- Public Accounts Committee: Transport Infrastructure Ireland: Financial Statements 2016 (12 Oct 2017)
Seán Fleming: If it would be of any help, we could write to the National Transport Authority on its policy relating to the issue the Deputy raised.

Seán Fleming: We can also ask what proposals are under consideration. Have we already done that?
