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 Infrastructure Guidelines and the necessary statutory approvals. In this context, TII is best placed to advise you on the N24 and N25 upgrades.

The allocations for 2025 are expected to be announced in the near future.

Noting the above position, I have referred your question to TII for a direct reply updating you as to the latest status of the N24 Waterford to Cahir and N25 Waterford to Glenmore projects. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.
