Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 15 January 2026
165. Deputy Aindrias Moynihan asked the Minister for Transport if he can urgently commit funding for improvement and safety works to be carried out on the N22, east of Macroom to Ballincollig, given the high number of road incidents on this stretch of road; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2869/26]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs 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 N22 between Macroom and Ballincollig.
The Government is committed to reducing road deaths and creating safer roads for everyone in Ireland.
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.
