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 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.
It is important to note that investment in the N70 Ring of Kerry road is taking place. Improvement works at Creamery Cross and between Waterville and Ballybrack are at the design stage and have been allocated funding this year. In addition, pavement improvement works have been carried out recently between Creamery Cross and Kenneigh.
Noting the above position, I have referred your question to TII for a direct reply regarding the N70 in Cahersiveen. 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.
