I propose to take Questions Nos. 203 and 204 together.

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 on the status of these projects.

I can confirm that €1,450,000 has been allocated for the N11/M11 Bus Priority Interim scheme and €4,000,000 has been allocated for the N11/N25 Oilgate to Rosslare scheme in 2025. As with all national roads projects in the NDP, the delivery programme for these projects will be kept under review for 2026 and considered in terms of the overall funding envelope available to TII.

Noting the above position, I have referred your question to TII for a direct reply regarding projects on the N11. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.
