I propose to take Questions Nos. 35 and 59 together.

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 is a matter for the National Roads Authority (NRA) under the Roads Acts 1993-2007 in conjunction with the relevant local authorities concerned. Noting this position, I have referred the Deputies' Questions to the NRA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.
