As Minister for Transport I am responsible for overall policy and funding in relation to the National Roads Programme element of Transport 21. The National Roads Authority (NRA), under the Roads Act, 1993, has responsibility for the planning, design and supervision of works for the construction and maintenance of national roads and for the allocation of the funds, which the Authority receives from my Department, to the many projects in the National Roads Programme.
