As I have outlined in my Department's Statement of Strategy, my Department is committed to successfully managing the many day-to-day issues affecting our transport network while at the same time ensuring that we have a vision for the future.

The current Statement of Strategy can be found at the following link: www.dttas.ie/node/23853.

The Government has committed to delivering an ambitious development plan, Project Ireland 2040, which will drive Ireland’s long term economic, environmental and social progress across all parts of the country over the next decade.

My Department and its agencies  have a key role in delivering that progress and Project Ireland 2040 contains commitments to a wide range of projects and programmes across my Department's remit including all areas of the transport system, focussing on those areas that are priorities for investment in the coming decade. These projects and all areas of the national transport system are looked at on an ongoing basis with a view to delivering an effective and progressive national transport system

Further details on these projects and programmes are available to view at the following link: www.gov.ie/en/project-ireland-2040.
