Vol. 394 No. 5

Written Answers. - County Waterford Road Construction.

114.

asked the Minister for the Environment if he will grant funds to Waterford County Council to enable them to construct a new road at Tallow linking the Youghal Road and Chapel Street in order to serve the new school at this location.

Proposals for works at this location have not been received in my Department from Waterford County Council.

As the road in question would not form part of the network of national roads, the cost of the works would, in accordance with normal practice, fall to be financed by the local authority from their own resources. The local authority may, at their discretion, use the discretionary grants paid annually by the Department to supplement expenditure from their own resources on such roads.

On 23 November 1989, discretionary grants for regional and county roads, totalling £1.648 million, were notified to Waterford County Council in respect of 1990.
