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 operation of individual road projects, including the N5 Castlebar to Westport project is a matter for Transport Infrastructure Ireland (formerly the NRA) under the Roads Acts 1993 to 2015 in conjunction with the local authority concerned.

Noting the above, I have referred your question regarding the N5 to TII for direct reply.  Please advise my private office if you don't receive a reply within 10 working days.
