44. Deputy Cormac Devlin asked the Minister for Transport the amount spent on the recent upgrade of the road surface along the Stillorgan road and N11 (from Leeson Street to the Loughlinstown Roundabout); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [52030/26]

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 regarding the N11 between Stillorgan and the Loughlinstown Roundabout.

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.

Matters relating to the R138 road from Leeson Street to Stillorgan are a matter for the relevant local authorities, in this case, Dublin City Council and Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council.
