Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 27 April 2004
788 Mr. Durkan asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government the position in relation to the road and bridge realignment at Bond Bridge, Maynooth, County Kildare; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [11333/04]
View answerThe improvement and realignment of non-national roads and bridges in County Kildare is a matter for Kildare County Council to be funded from its own resources supplemented by State grants.
In 2003, my Department sought applications from road authorities for funding under the 2004 EU co-financed specific improvements grant scheme. Kildare County Council submitted a number of applications but these did not include an application for funding for Bond Bridge. It will be open to Kildare County Council to prioritise this project for funding under the EU co-financed scheme in 2005, when applications are sought by my Department, later this year.
