937. Deputy Tony McLoughlin asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport further to Question No. 581 of 7 July 2015 regarding specific road funding allocations, if he will detail the requested information on the local authority funding allocated so that it is listed on the record of Dáil Éireann; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [28860/15]
View answerAs I outlined to the Deputy in my reply to Question No. 581 of 7 July 2015, details of the regional and local road grant allocations and payments to local authorities including Sligo, Leitrim, Cavan and Donegal the period 2012-2015 are set out in the regional and local road grant allocation and payment booklets which are available in the Oireachtas Library. Given the detail involved, the allocation and payment booklets are lodged in the Oireachtas Library to assist Deputies as it is not practicable to set out all allocation and payment details in a response to a Parliamentary Question. To assist the Deputy further, the total payments made to local authorities in the counties mentioned in the relevant years, together with the 2015 allocations, are as follows:
