The planning, design and implementation of national road improvement projects, including the M50 road-widening scheme, is a matter for the National Roads Authority (NRA) and the local authorities concerned. I have no function in relation to the day-to-day operation of these projects.

Traffic management in general is a matter for the appropriate local authority and in the case of the M50, that authority is Dublin City Council.
