I propose to take Questions Nos. 289 and 293 to 296, inclusive, together.

In the context of the questions raised regarding major and minor projects under the Capital Investment Plan (CIP) or otherwise, I am responding with a composite reply to PQ Refs 43120/18, 43124/18, , 43125/18, 43126/18 and 43127/18.

As Minister for Transport, Tourism & Sport, I have responsibility for overall policy and funding in relation to the national roads programme. When Exchequer funding has been allocated, under the Roads Acts 1993-2015, the planning, design and operation of individual roads is a matter for the relevant road authority in relation to local and regional roads, or for Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) in conjunction with the local authorities concerned, in relation to national roads.

You may wish to note that Capital Exchequer funding, for national roads, may be obtained under Infrastructure Programmes in the Capital Tracker which is available from the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform's website.

Noting the above position, I have referred the questions to TII for a more detailed and direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.

290.

The Government's Capital Investment Plan (CIP) "Building on Recovery - Infrastructure and Capital Investment" provides the strategic and financial framework for TII's activities for the period 2016 to 2021. The proposed N22 Ballyvourney-Macroom project is one of number of major national road improvement schemes that were identified for development during the period of the CIP. In that context, when my Department, in conjunction with the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform, provides Capital funding to TII for the implementation of the CIP, TII's function is to then deliver on an integrated approach to the future development and operation of the national roads network throughout Ireland. Consequently, TII will be in a position to advise on the current status and funding of the N22 Ballyvourney to Macroom project.

Noting the above position, I have referred the question to TII for a direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.

I propose to take Questions Nos. 297 to 299, inclusive, together.

The contracting authority for each of these projects is the relevant local authority i.e. Kildare County Council for the Sallins Bypass project, Sligo County Council for the Garavogue Bridge project and South Dublin County Council for the Nangor and Adamstown road upgrades. My Department is providing grant support for the projects and information on Exchequer grant support for 2018 to 2022, the estimated project cost and the status of each project is available on the Capital Tracker on the DPER website.

The Regional and Local Road allocation and payment booklets available in the Oireachtas library also provide details of grant payments and allocations to date for individual schemes and road maintenance programmes.
