As Minister for Transport, Tourism & 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.   This also includes the provision of potential safety improvement works on national roads 

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