Answered by the Minister for Transport (Noel Dempsey TD)
REPLY
As Minister for Transport I am responsible for policy and funding matters relating to the national road element of Transport 21. However, the detailed planning, design and implementation of all aspects of individual road improvement schemes including the Dublin Port Tunnel and the financial aspects of its operation are, under Section 17 of the Roads Act 1993 (as amended) a matter for the National Roads Authority (NRA) and the relevant local authorities concerned- in this case Dublin City Council.
