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.

I can confirm that as part of the 2025 allocations for national roads, €10,000 was provided to Galway County Council for the N83 Claregalway Traffic Calming and Pavement Restoration scheme.

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