I have not issued any policy directions to the National Roads Authority during the period referred to by the Deputy.

Funding is provided to the NRA in accordance with the provisions of Section 24 of the Roads Act, 1993. Under Section 19(1)(f) it is a matter for the NRA to allocate monies in relation to the construction or maintenance works.
