Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 4 November 2014
1102. Deputy Michael McNamara asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if additional funds will be provided to Clare County Council to enable it to meet its statutory obligation under the Roads Act to maintain and construct all local roads in its area in circumstances where the L-80401-0 appears to have been closed for an indeterminate duration. [41059/14]
View answerThe improvement and maintenance of regional and local roads is the statutory responsibility of each local authority, in accordance with the provisions of Section 13 of the Roads Act 1993. Works on those roads are funded from local authorities' own resources supplemented by State road grants.
The selection and prioritisation of works to be funded is a matter for the local authority. All available grant funding has been allocated for this year.
