I met with representatives of all the relevant agencies, including the National Roads Authority (NRA), on 13 February 2008 to discuss Transport 21 issues. In addition, I met with the Chief Executive of the National Roads Authority (NRA) and with senior officials and Board members to discuss a number of policy issues ranging from the Dublin Port Tunnel to the NRA's national roads programme on four separate occasions between April and December.

More generally, my Department maintains regular contact with the NRA in relation to policy and funding issues in respect of the national roads programme element of Transport 21.
