View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 209 to 212, inclusive, together.
As Minister for Transport I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport, the national roads programme, the regional and local roads programme, and active travel.
Investments are delivered by the relevant local authorities, working in partnership with the National Transport Authority, which is responsible for Active Travel and Public Transport Investment; Transport and Infrastructure Ireland, which is responsible for National Roads Investment.
Payments to all local authorities concerning regional and local roads investments are outlined in the regional and local road payments booklets which are available in the Oireachtas Library. Decisions regarding allocations to individual Municipal Districts are a matter for each local authority. In this regard I suggest you contact the relevant Local Authority directly for details of the allocation of funding for regional and local roads in these constituencies.
I have requested that each of the above organisations respond to you directly relating to investments in the specific districts referenced. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.
