485. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will make a recommendation to the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine that under the TAMS, the construction of cattle underpasses be grant aided in view of his responsibility to ensure health and safety on roads. [26197/18]

As TAMS is the responsibility of the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, it is for that Minister to consider whether it would be appropriate to include cattle underpasses in the Scheme, having regard to the requirement for any such expenditure to support agricultural modernisation. I note that the scheme is not intended to support road safety.
