343 Deputy Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin asked the Minister for Transport if his attention has been drawn to the problems being experienced by local authorities regarding the implementation of a directive from the Health and Safety Authority which states that local councils can no longer deal with areas of concern on main roads throughout the State, and that any requests for remedial work must be processed through the office of the national road design; and his views on whether there is a huge backlog in national road design offices, resulting in delays of several months before requests can even be processed and whether there are not enough staff to cater with this new demand, resulting in longer delays for many jobs that local authorities would have previously undertaken without undue hesitancy.
