National infrastructure legislation review

Summary

Deputy Collins sought an update on amending infrastructure legislation, citing the proposed M20 and uncertainty for landowners along the route. The Minister said he would get a report for the Deputy.

We are all aware that the delivery of large-scale infrastructure projects is complex and costly and takes a lot of time. In the mid-west and south, the proposed project to develop the M20 motorway between Cork and Limerick is a classic example. It will cost a huge amount of money - estimated at almost €1 billion. What concerns me at this point, apart from the timeline to deliver it which is yet unknown, is the impact on the potential landowners right along the proposed route.

Promised legislation.

Comment on this

In the context of the proposed review of the national infrastructure development legislation, where are we in terms of amending and updating that? It is a commitment in the programme for Government to deliver these projects on a more timely basis and to remove uncertainty for the landowners who will be affected.

I will have to get a report for the Deputy on that.
