View answerAs indicated in the previous reply, projects proposed by local authorities for consideration under the Specific and Strategic Grant Programmes are assessed by the Department on a case-by-case basis with reference to the Public Spending Code and the Capital Appraisal Framework and taking account of available budgets.
As regards the Letterkenny Southern Relief Road, the Preliminary Appraisal received from Donegal County Council has been reviewed by the Department's Strategic Research and Analysis Division and the Department has been liaising with the Council in relation to that review with a view to the Council submitting a revised Preliminary Appraisal.
