Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 25 June 2024
113. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Transport the mechanism for toll plaza responses to emergencies and the number of staff assigned to emergency response on motorways during weekdays and at weekends, per shift, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [26847/24]
View answerAs Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for overall policy and funding in relation to the national roads programme. Under the Roads Acts 1993-2015, the operation and management of individual national roads is a matter for Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII), in conjunction with the local authorities concerned. Therefore, matters relating to the day-to-day operations regarding national roads, including toll roads, are within the remit of TII.
Noting the above position, I have referred the question to TII for a direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.
