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.

With regard to communication received from Unite the Union, the matter raised is ultimately for TII. However, I have referred your question to TII for a direct reply updating you as to the current status of this issue. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.
