As Minister for Transport I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to the matters outlined in the Deputy's question, while the National Transport Authority (NTA) has responsibility for the planning and development of such projects and works in conjunction with the relevant local authorities, including Kildare County Council, to implement same.

Noting the NTA's responsibility in this matter, I have referred your question to them for a more detailed reply. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.
