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 operation of individual roads is a matter for Transport Infrastructure Ireland under the Roads Acts 1993-2015 in conjunction with the local authorities concerned.

Following your representations, and our recent meeting on the subject, I understand that TII has reviewed the position in respect of providing additional signage for Kilcolgan and Clarinbridge and has prepared designs for such signs and is in the process of procuring the provision of those additional signs.

Noting the above position and the query regarding timescales, I have referred the Deputy's question to TII for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you don't receive a reply within 10 working days.
