Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 10 February 2026
371. Deputy Conor D. McGuinness asked the Minister for Transport the total allocation made by his Department and Transport Infrastructure Ireland for works in respect of the N72 in 2026; if he will provide details of each individual allocation, including scope, amount and location, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [10043/26]
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 operation and management 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 in relation to the N72.
National roads allocations for 2026 will be announced in the near future.
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.
