As Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, I have responsibility for overall policy and funding in relation to the national roads programme. The implementation of individual national road schemes, including Public Private Partnership schemes, is a matter for the National Roads Authority (NRA) in accordance with the Roads Acts 1993-2007.
The Infrastructure and Capital Investment Framework 2012- 2016 makes provision for the N11 Arklow-Rathnew/N7 Newlands Cross PPP project to proceed. Also, the intention is to pursue the N17/N18 Gort-Tuam PPP with a view to the project going ahead within the Capital Investment framework period.
