As Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, I have responsibility for overall policy and funding in relation to the national roads programme. The planning, design and implementation of individual national road projects are matters for the National Roads Authority (NRA) under the Roads Acts 1993 to 2007, in conjunction with the local authorities concerned.

Noting this position, I have referred the Deputy's question to the NRA for direct response. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within 10 working days.
