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.
The N24 Waterford to Cahir project has been allocated €80,000 for 2025 and while the N25 Waterford to Glenmore project did not receive an allocation for 2025, it is anticipated that it could be funded in 2026, subject to the outcome of the ongoing review of the NDP. It is also important to note that the Programme for Government contains a commitment to increase funding for new roads and the maintenance of existing roads as part of the NDP review.
Noting the above position, I have referred the question to TII for a direct reply updating you as to the latest status of the N24 Waterford to Cahir and the N25 Waterford to Glenmore projects.
A referred reply was forwarded to the Deputy under Standing Orders.
