As Minister for Transport I have responsibility for overall policy and exchequer funding in relation to the National Roads Programme. Under the Roads Acts 1993-2015 and in line with the National Development Plan (NDP), the operation and management of individual national roads is a matter for Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII), in conjunction with the local authorities concerned.This is also subject to the Public Spending Code and the necessary statutory approvals. In this context, TII is best placed to advise you.

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

Each local authority has statutory responsibility for the improvement and maintenance of public regional and local roads in its area of responsibility under the provisions of Section 13 of the Roads Act 1993.

Works on those roads are funded from each Council's own resources supplemented by State road grants, where applicable. The initial selection and prioritisation of works to be funded is a matter for the local authority.

My Department has not received any application for grant funding under the Regional and Local Road Grant Programme for a safety improvement scheme at this location.
