National Secondary Roads Needs Study

The NRA is now proposing to focus its attention on addressing deficiencies in the NSR network. To that end, it commissioned the National Secondary Road Needs Study (NSRNS) to identify an optimal future NSR network, which offers value for money.

The reporting of the network options for the National Secondary Roads Needs Study is divided into five regions namely North, East, South East, South West and West as follows:

North:
Cavan, Donegal, Leitrim, Longford, Monaghan, Sligo and Westmeath

East:
Kildare, Laois, Louth, Meath, Offaly, South Dublin and Wicklow

South East:
Carlow, Kilkenny, Tipperary North, Tipperary South, Waterford and Wexford

South West:
Cork, Kerry and Limerick

West:
Clare, Galway, Mayo and Roscommon

A separate report has been provided for each region, with Chapters 1, 3, 4 and 6 being common in all reports. In addition Sections 2.1 to 2.4, Sections 5.1 to 5.3, Sections 7.1 to 7.2, Sections 8.1 to 8.3 and Sections 9.1 to 9.5 inclusive are common in all reports.
