The planning and implementation of the A5 project is the responsibility of the Northern Ireland authorities.
The Stormont House Agreement and Implementation Plan - A Fresh Start - sets out the Government's commitment to contribute £75 million to ensure that Phase 1 of the project (Newbuildings to north of Strabane) can commence as soon as the necessary planning process in the North has been concluded.
While, in the absence of the Northern Ireland Executive, the North South Ministerial Council cannot meet, the Senior Officials Group overseeing progress on implementing the Fresh Start Agreement commitments met in February and June this year.
