246. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the up-to-date position on the N24 Cahir to Limerick Junction given that TII has advised councillors only the section near Tipperary town will be built due to lack of funding; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [1440/23]

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 planning, design and construction 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.

Decisions regarding funding allocations for National Roads in 2023 are currently being finalised and will be announced soon.

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