View answerThe improvement and maintenance of regional and local roads in Cork City (including Stoneridge est, Blarney Road) is the statutory responsibility of Cork City Council, in accordance with the provisions of Section 13 of the Roads Act 1993. Works on those roads are funded from the Council's own resources supplemented by State road grants. The initial selection and prioritisation of works to be funded is also a matter for the local authority.
An application for grant assistance was received from Cork City Council. Today I announced the overall 2017 Regional and Local Road grant allocations and funding for this project is included in those allocations.
