View answerOn 22nd February, I announced the 2010 regional and local road grant allocations. A total of €411.409 million is being provided to local authorities this year for the maintenance and improvement of regional and local roads. In deciding on allocations for 2010 the first priority was to ensure the protection of the existing road network and particularly the Exchequer investment of €6 billion which we have made through the provision of regional and local road grants since 1997. A total of €230.5 million has been spent to date on regional and local roads in 2010.
