Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 17 September 2014
1714. Deputy Tom Fleming asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the amount of money designated by his Department for flood damage repair to projects in County Kerry following last winter's floods and storms; the locations of these projects; the position regarding the progress on each; the percentages of the moneys designated that have been spent by Kerry County Council to date; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [34141/14]
View answerAs a result of the severe weather in the December/January period the Government confirmed additional funding of €16.8 million for repairs to roads damaged during the period 13 December 2013 to 6 January 2014. This funding is separate to the regional and local road individual grant allocations made by my Department to local authorities. Local authorities were notified of their allocations under severe weather on the 1st April 2014. Kerry County Council was allocated €575,291 for road repairs of which €172,265 (30%) has been drawn down to date. In addition, a further amount of €26,772 has been approved for payment this month.
The table details the locations and costs of the road projects in Kerry. As regards the progress on each, I suggest the Deputy makes contact with the local authority who are best placed to assist.
