National Roads Authority - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The National Roads Authority (NRA) (An tÚdarás um Bóithre Náisiúnta in Irish) is a state body in the Republic of Ireland, responsible for the national road network. The NRA was established as part of the Roads Act, 1993, and commenced operations on 1 January 1994. The NRA, meanwhile, is responsible for the planning and construction of National Primary Routes as well as establishing safety measures. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/National_Roads_Authority   (154 words)

Seanad Debates - Official Report 15-10-97 In establishing the NRA on a statutory basis in 1994, the Oireachtas entrusted it with the general duty of securing the provision of a safe and efficient network of national roads. This local input would ensure that the resources, skills and experience of local authorities continued to be applied to the national road programme, in addition to their important and continuing work on their individual non-national roads programmes. On the domestic front, there was a perceived need to provide for better co-ordination of the national roads programme which, from the foundation of the State, had been implemented through local road authorities. www.irlgov.ie /debates-97/s15oct97/sect3.htm   (9289 words)

Toll roads in Ireland The National Roads Authority is empowered by the Local Government (Toll Roads) Act, 1979 to charge and collect tolls for the use of certain roads by vehicles. In addition, the National Roads Authority is required to produce a Draft Toll Scheme and citizens are invited to inspect the scheme for a period of one month and make observations/submissions on the scheme. Under the approach being pursued by the National Roads Authority, toll roads will be constructed as additions to the current network of national roads rather than provided by means of improvement of existing roads. oasis.gov.ie /transport/motoring/national_toll_roads_in_ireland.html   (1570 words)

National Roads Authority: Public Private Partnership The Authority must ensure that PPP projects are implemented successfully, as they are integral to the delivery of the targets set for improvement of the national road network. The projects are a very significant step towards the €1.27b target included in the NDP for private financing of the national roads programme. The Government have set a target of securing €1.27b private finance for PPP projects on national roads which represents 23% of the total road investment programme. nra.ie /PublicPrivatePartnership   (456 words)

Seanad Debates - Official Report 15-10-97 I do not know who are the members of the National Roads Authority. The counties north of the Border have also been pressing the National Roads Authority to provide an increase in funding to aid the roads network in our area. It is ludicrous that an authority such as that will not come and join us in making such a huge decision which will have an impact for generations to come and is something that not only the council and its executive, but the people of the county take very seriously. www.irlgov.ie /debates-97/s15oct97/sect4.htm   (5977 words)

Irish Times Article - Road where four died was 'cause of concern' to NRA The Co Tipperary road on which members of three generations of the same family lost their lives yesterday had been identified by the National Roads Authority as a cause for concern. The NRA prefers national roads to be dual carriageways with one lane a designated overtaking lane, coupled with a wide median to separate traffic travelling in opposite directions. Roads of the type on which the accident happened generally do not have a central crash barrier and drivers, when overtaking, can be surprised by an oncoming vehicle that is also overtaking. www.ireland.com /newspaper/front/2004/0123/1091111012HM1CAHIRCRASH.html   (548 words)

deptoffin1 Since the National Roads Authority is the body set up by legislation - the Roads Act 1993 - to "secure the provision of a safe and efficient network of national roads", it is reasonable to assume that the NRA would be the body to advise the government on what roads to build. Michael Egan of the National Roads Authority made the astonishing admission that the NRA did not advise the Cabinet Committee on Infrastructural Development to build motorways. Surprisingly there have been no resignations from the National Roads Authority in protest at the rejection of their study. www.geocities.com /n7motorway/deptoffin1.html   (3032 words)

Campaign for Sensible Transport - National Roads Authority A GROUP opposed to the construction of motorways has called for the resignation of four board members of the National Roads Authority, claiming their position in the construction industry represents a conflict of interest. Meanwhile, IFA president Tom Parlon yesterday led farmers in the first of a series of planned pickets of NRA-county council public consultations on the planned £4.6 billion motorway network. However, NRA chief executive Micheál Tobin said all board members submit an annual declaration of interests, and absent themselves from any board discussion in which there was a potential conflict of interest. homepage.eircom.net /~camway/resource_centre/nra/articles/resignation_call_20010627.html   (438 words)
