Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 24 September 2008
1172 Deputy Tom Sheahan asked the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs when he will allocate funding to Kerry County Council under the CLÁR scheme to improve local roads in rural areas throughout Kerry; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [29299/08]
View answerI wish to advise the Deputy that on 30 July 2008 I announced a provisional allocation of €591,489.46 under the CLÁR/Department of Transport Roads Co-Funded Non National Roads Measure for Kerry County Council. This amount has recently been approved to Kerry County Council.
Each Local Authority received a pro rata allocation from the fund available. There is no scope to increase this amount. There will be no LIS allocation this year under the CLÁR Programme.
