Question:14 Mr. Killeen asked the Minister for the Environment the funding his Department will make available to Clare County Council in 1995 to alleviate flooding on regional and county roads. [2198/95]
Written Answers. - Regional and County Roads.
The general conditions notified to local authorities in relation to the discretionary grants for non-national roads require them to provide a contingency sum from their overall allocations so as to finance road restoration works which may be necessitated by extreme weather conditions. Special grants are not, therefore, made available for this purpose.
I will shortly notify local authorities generally of their 1995 discretionary grant allocations. It will then be a matter for each authority to determine its programme of road works, including remedial works arising from flooding, taking account of the overall resources available to it.
