Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 7 December 2004
436 Mr. Naughten asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government if he will approve an application for funding from Roscommon under the specific grant scheme to realign the Roscommon to Creggs regional road; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [32374/04]
View answerThe improvement of non-national roads in its area is a matter for consideration by Roscommon County Council, on the basis of its own financial resources supplemented by State grants.
In August this year, my Department sought applications from local authorities for funding under the 2005 EU co-financed specific improvements grant scheme. Applications submitted by Roscommon County Council included an application for funding for the widening, re-alignment, strengthening and surfacing of the R366 Roscommon to Creggs road. I intend to announce allocations for 2005 early in the new year.
