173. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Transport if he will provide the 11 options that have been compiled as part of the development of plans for an M50 road resilience project; and if he and or the National Transport Authority have consulted with an engineering company in respect of bridge building projects as part of the development of the plans. [36911/22]
View answerAs 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 Public Spending Code and the necessary statutory approvals. In this context, TII is best placed to advise you.
Noting the above position, I have referred your question to TII for a direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.
