Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 12 February 2026
258. Deputy Mark Wall asked the Minister for Transport his views on the report prepared by TII regarding the M7/M9 junction; the actions recommended in the report; the timelines involved; if the report will be published; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [11145/26]
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. I understand that the final report on the M7/M9 junction has not yet been received by TII but it is expected that this will be completed in the near future. In this context, TII is best placed to advise you in relation to the M7/M9 junction.
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.
