Cavan County Council's non-national road grant allocation has increased from £7.146 million – 9.074 million – in 1997 to £10.888 million – 13.825 million – in 2001 – an increase of 52.36%. The 2001 allocation represents an 8% increase on the 2000 payment figure of £10,107,224 – 12,833,527.
I will be announcing the 2002 non-national road grant allocations early next year and my objective will be to resource all local authorities appropriately in relation to their ongoing.
