Deputy Robert Troy
asked the
Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport
if he will consult with the National Roads Authority to provide funding to permit the construction of a link road off the N5 Longford bypass, which is under construction, to access the existing sewerage treatment plant in Longford.
[22658/11]
Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport (Deputy Leo Varadkar):
As Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, I have responsibility for overall policy and funding in relation to the national roads programme. The planning, design and implementation of individual road projects is a matter for the National Roads Authority (NRA) under the Roads Acts 1993 to 2007 in conjunction with the local authorities concerned.
Noting the above position, I have referred the Deputy’s question to the NRA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.
