Written answers

Minister for Rural and Community Development

The Local Improvement Scheme, or LIS, is a programme for improvement works on small private or non-public roads in rural areas which are not under the normal maintenance of the Local Authorities. The scheme is funded by my Department and is administered through the Local Authorities.

I am not in a position to comment or advise on the particular matter raised by the Deputy, which may not necessarily be dependent on whether the road in question is included in the LIS.

I would suggest that the landholders in question discuss the matter further with their Local Authority.
