As Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for overall policy and funding in relation to the national roads programme element of Transport 21. The construction, improvement and maintenance of individual national roads, including the N2 Clontibret to the Border scheme, is a matter for the National Roads Authority under the Roads Acts 1993 to 2007, in conjunction with the local authorities concerned. In addition, the allocation of funding in relation to the construction or maintenance of national roads is a matter for the National Roads Authority under Section 19 of the Roads Act.
There has been no discussion to date regarding the N2 Clontibret to the Border scheme at the Transport Sectoral meeting of the North South Ministerial Council.
