Question:

34. Deputy Mattie McGrath asked the Minister for Transport the reason for the delay in publishing the route selection report for the N24 upgrades; when the report will be published and made available to affected communities; if there are plans to revisit the route selected as it does not plan to bypass Clonmel but proposes to use the current inner relief road, which currently experiences major traffic congestion on a daily basis; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Written answers

Minister for Transport

As 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.

A referred reply was forwarded to the Deputy under Standing Orders.
