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.

I can confirm that as part of the recently announced national road allocations for 2025, €69,000,000 has been allocated to the N21/69 Foynes Limerick project which includes the Adare Bypass.

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