Answered by the Minister for Transport (Noel Dempsey TD)
REPLY
The management and oversight arrangements for the A5 Derry Aughnacloy road project have been agreed in the North-South Ministerial Council and are now operational. The Technical Group is comprised of senior expert officials from the National Roads Authority and Road Services Northern Ireland. It is not my intention to seek any expansion in the membership of the Group.
