It is understood that the road in question is a county road. Responsibility for the planning, execution and timing of any improvement works for the road, including the provision of the necessary finance, rests, therefore, with Kerry County Council. The council may, at their own discretion, use the block grant to supplement expenditure from their own resources (including the rate support grant) on such improvement works.
