Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 29 January 2014
212. Deputy Michael McGrath asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport in the context of the €23.1 million of funding announced for specific and strategic regional and local roads projects, if he will consider providing funding to enable the Carrigaline western relief road in County Cork to proceed to construction stage. [4463/14]
View answerThe improvement and maintenance of regional and local roads, in its area, is a statutory function of each road authority in accordance with the provisions of section 13 of the Roads Act, 1993. Works on such roads are a matter for the relevant local authority to be funded from its own resources supplemented by State road grants.
I announced the 2014 regional and local road grant allocations last week and Cork County Council has been allocated €91,000 towards the Carrigaline Western Relief Road in 2014.
