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.

Full details of national roads allocations for 2025 are available on the TII website:

National roads allocations for previous years are available at: www.tii.ie/en/tii-library/reports-accounts/

Noting the above position, I have referred the question to TII for a direct reply updating the Deputy as to the latest status of the Cork City Northern Transport Project (formally the Cork Northern Ring Road). Please advise my private office if a reply is not received within 10 working days.
