The planning, design and implementation of national road improvement projects, including the Dublin Port Tunnel and the concerns raised by the Deputy in that regard, are matters for the National Roads Authority (NRA) and the local authorities concerned, in this case, Dublin City Council.

That being said, I am very conscious of the concerns associated with the introduction of the HGV Management Strategy, and my officials and I are working closely with all key stakeholders, including Dublin City Council, to ensure that these are addressed.

My Department's formal role will be to put in place the necessary regulations regarding road signage and related matters to support the strategy. This work is underway.
