Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 4 May 2017
247. Deputy Noel Rock asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if studies on congestion projections have been made for the M50; if reviews have been conducted on the way to relieve the pressure on the M50; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [21218/17]
View answerAs Minister for Transport, Tourism & Sport, I have responsibility for overall policy and funding in relation to the national roads programme. The planning, design and operation of individual roads (including the M50) is a matter for Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) under the Roads Acts 1993-2015 in conjunction with the local authorities concerned.
Noting the above position, I have referred the Deputy’s question to TII for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you don’t receive a reply within 10 working days.
The referred reply under Standing Order 42A was forwarded to the Deputy.
