Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 23 July 2019
2368. Deputy Jonathan O'Brien asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the allocation and drawdown of the specific improvement grant scheme for 2018 and to date in 2019, by locality and secondary road. [32096/19]
View answerThe improvement and maintenance of regional and local roads is the statutory responsibility of the relevant local authority 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.
Details of the regional and local road grant payments for 2018 for specific grant projects are outlined in the regional and local road grant booklet which is available in the Dáil Library.
