To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if, given the ongoing traffic concerns and safety risks at the Crowhill Junction on the N86 Tralee/Camp/Annascaul/Dingle road where it meets the Inch/Keel to Killarney road, he will commit to the provision of a roundabout at this location (details supplied); the steps being taken to prioritise and expedite the delivery of this much-needed infrastructural improvement; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

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 operation and management 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.
Noting the above position, I have referred your question to TII for a direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.
