I propose to take Questions Nos. 872 to 874, inclusive, together.

As Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, I have responsibility for overall policy and funding in relation to the national roads programme.  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. 

Noting the above position, I have referred the questions concerning the issues raised on the M7/N7 route 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.
