Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 21 June 2016
515. Deputy Carol Nolan asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the funding he has allocated to Tipperary County Council for road upgrades in each of the years 2006 to 2016 to date; if he will increase the allocation to the council given the poor condition of the roads in certain parts of the county, specifically in the parish of Aglish, Roscrea, County Tipperary; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17032/16]
View answerDetails of the regional and local road grant payments in the period 2006 to 2015 to County Councils including Tipperary County Council are outlined in the regional and local road grant payment booklets which are available in the Dáil Library. Details of the 2016 regional and local road grant allocations to each County Council are also available in the Dáil library. In addition to the initial 2016 allocation as outlined in the allocation booklet, €5.35 million in severe weather funding has also been allocated to Tipperary County Council this year.
All funding for regional and local road programmes for 2016 has now been allocated.
With regard to national roads, details of payments are a matter for Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) (formerly known as the NRA).
Noting the above position, I have referred the Deputy's question to TII for direct reply. I ask the Deputy to please advise my private office if she does not receive a reply within 10 working days.
