Written answers

Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport (Deputy Leo Varadkar)

This PQ is in relation to PPP road schemes and the N11 Arklow/Rathnew Scheme in particular.

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 don't receive a reply within 10 working days.
