80. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform when repairs will be carried out on a road (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [49966/18]
View answerI am advised by the Office of Public Works (OPW) engineering staff that any damage to the road referred to by the Deputy did not arise from OPW's activities. While this Office did undertake works in the area earlier this year, it did not involve the transport of heavy machinery along the road in question.
Accordingly, any remediation works to this road, if it a public road, would in the first instance be a matter for the Local Authority to consider.
