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 Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) (formerly known as the NRA) under the Roads Acts 1993 to 2015 in conjunction with the local authorities concerned.

As regards the position in relation to the condition of the road at the Minish railway track, the Deputy's previous PQ of 27274/16 in relation to the same matter was referred to TII and I understand that TII has replied to the Deputy setting out the current position.

In relation to the Deputy's query in relation lighting on the N22 at the junction with the R569, I am forwarding your question to TII for direct reply.  Please advise my private office if you don't receive a reply within 10 working days.
