245. Deputy Eoghan Kenny asked the Minister for Transport if Transport Infrastructure Ireland have plans to introduce road safety and traffic calming measures at the entrance to Mallow Hospital on the N20; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [68041/26]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Government is committed to reducing road deaths and creating safer roads for everyone in Ireland.
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 in relation to traffic calming measures on the N20.
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.
