Deputy Peadar Tóibín
asked the
Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport
the amount of revenue the State is raising on average a month from road tolls.
[26568/11]
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 implementation of individual national road projects is a matter for the National Roads Authority (NRA) under the Roads Acts 1993-2007, in conjunction with the local authorities concerned. Furthermore, the statutory power to levy tolls on national roads, to make toll by-laws and to enter into toll agreements with private investors in respect of national roads is vested in the NRA under Part V of the Roads Act 1993 (as amended by the Planning and Development Act 2000 and the Roads Act 2007). Noting this 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.
Question No. 43 answered with Question No. 15.
