Written Answers. - Roads Projects.
My Department's 1999 non-national roads grant allocation to Waterford County Council of £5,292,000 includes a grant of £203,000 for the Tramore ring road under the scheme of grants for works to facilitate housing development. Some £97,000 was also paid to the council for Tramore ring road under this scheme in 1998. These amounts are contributing towards the construction of some 1.3 km of the Tramore ring road. The provision of the remaining section of the Tramore ring road is a matter for determination by Waterford County Council in the context of its resources and priorities under the non-national roads programme.
