180. Deputy Fergus O'Dowd asked the Minister for Transport the status of the Carrickmacross to Ardee road scheme; the projected timeline for the scheme; the costs of the scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [42331/22]
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.
Noting the above position, I have referred your question on the N2 Ardee to Castleblayney project to TII for a direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.
