It is a function of each road authority to plan their road programme consistent with the resources available to them. The total of road grants allocated to Galway County Council was increased from £1,880,000 in 1980, to £3,517,000 in the current year, a virtual doubling of the 1980 allocation. There are many important and worthwhile improvement schemes proceeding throughout the county with the aid of these grants. I hope that this progress will be maintained in future years.
