91. Deputy Noel Grealish asked the Minister for Transport if funding can be allocated to Galway County Council to investigate the possibility of speed control, speed reduction and hard engineering works (similar to works on the N83 at Knockdoe, County Galway) to reduce the ongoing threat to users in the settlement centre of Rosscahill (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter.

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 Infrastructure Guidelines 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.
