Written answers

Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport

Details of my Department's regional and local road grant allocations and payments to local authorities Councils, including Meath County Council,  are outlined in the regional and local road grant booklets available in the Dáil Library.   

With regard to national roads, details of the allocations to each local authority (including Meath) are also available in the Dáil library.  Actual payments to local authorities are a matter for the NRA and I have, therefore, referred the Deputy’s question to the Authority for direct reply.

Please advise my private office if you don’t receive a reply within 10 working days.
