As Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for overall policy and exchequer funding in relation to the National Roads Programme. Once funding arrangements have been put in place with Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII), 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 TII, in conjunction with the local authorities concerned. This is also subject to the Public Spending Code and the necessary statutory approvals.

The allocations for national roads in 2023 are currently being finalised and will be announced by TII shortly.

Noting the above position, I have referred your question regarding the N2 from Clontibret to the Border, on this occasion, to TII for a direct update on this scheme. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.
