Written Answers - Roads Funding.
The funds available to local authorities from State grants and local resources for non-national road maintenance and improvement are in principle designed to cover contingencies arising from flooding, storm damage and other severe weather conditions. Subject to this overriding principle and to the availability of funds for reallocation, my Department is prepared to examine requests from local authorities for assistance in cases of demonstrated emergency need.
