Question 55: To ask the Minister for Transport further to Parliamentary Question No. 149 of 3 May 2006, if he will address the question raised in relation to use of the right-hand lane of the Dublin Port Tunnels by heavy goods vehicles; and if he will provide a detailed reply. [17635/06]

As I indicated in my reply of 3 May 2006 (PQ Ref. No. 16239/06) traffic management in general is a matter for the appropriate local authority in the area. In this instance, the traffic management and control arrangements that will apply following the opening of the Tunnel, including any lane restrictions in respect of Heavy Goods Vehicles are matters for Dublin City Council and the National Roads Authority. I understand that the Council together with the NRA are working to ensure that the Dublin Port Tunnel, when open, will integrate smoothly with the road network at both the M1/M50 junction and in the port area.
