Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 5 November 2013
1252. Deputy Willie Penrose asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will outline in tabular form the amount of funding provided by his Department to Westmeath County Council for road construction, improvement and realigment schemes; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [46689/13]
View answerDetails of the regional and local road grant payments to county councils including Westmeath County Council are outlined in the regional and local road grant payment booklets which are available in the Dáil Library. Details of the 2013 regional and local road grant allocations to each county council are also available in the Dáil library.
With regard to national roads, details of the allocations to each local authority are also available in the Dáil library. However, details of the actual drawdown of funding for these roads is a matter for the National Roads Authority.
Noting the above position, I have referred the Deputy's question to the NRA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you don't receive a reply within 10 working days.
