Emmet Stagg

Question:

309 Mr. Stagg asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government if he has received an application for grant aid from Kildare County Council towards the reconstruction of local roads in the Straffan area as a special measure in the context of the Ryder Cup in 2006; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [33727/04]

View answer

A special Exchequer grant of €2.5 million has been allocated to Kildare County Council in 2004 in respect of improvements to the road between Barberstown crossroads and the Straffan road and the road between Kill interchange and Straffan village. I intend to announce allocations for 2005 early in the new year.
