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

I have referred the Deputy's question to the NRA for direct reply and asked that they verify the information previously provided.  Please advise my private office if you don't receive a reply within 10 working days.
