I understand that the traffic calming measures being referred to by the Deputy are associated with the village of Inchabaun, which is a village located on the N21, rather than Templeglantine, which appears to be a townsland not located on a national or regional road.

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 (including traffic calming measures) is a matter for the National Roads Authority (NRA) under the Roads Acts 1993 to 2007 in conjunction with the local authorities concerned.

Noting the above position, I have referred the Deputy’s question to the NRA for direct reply.  Please advise my private office if you don’t receive a reply within 10 working days.
