There is no record of any representations in relation to this matter being received in my Department. As Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for overall policy and funding in relation to the national roads programme element of Transport 21. e construction, improvement and maintenance of individual national roads, is a matter for the National Roads Authority (NRA) 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 NRA under Section 19 of the Roads Act.
