Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 3 March 2026
342. Deputy Ken O'Flynn asked the Minister for Transport the average duration in months of environmental impact assessment and appropriate assessment stages for major transport infrastructure projects approved between 2015 and 2025; and the baseline data being used to assess current delays. [18048/26]
Amharc ar fhreagraEnvironmental Impact Assessments regarding major transport projects, (generally considered projects with a total estimated cost of over €200m), are carried out and managed directly by the delivery agencies under the aegis of the Department, Transport Infrastructure Ireland and the National Transport Authority.
As per my response on the 24th February 2026 to the question asked by the Deputy in PQ 14729/26, as this question also seeks information on the duration of Environmental Impact Assessments for major projects, I have referred your question to TII and to the NTA. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response in the next 10 working days.
