Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 5 May 2021
707. Deputy Kathleen Funchion asked the Minister for Rural and Community Development the number of lanes that have been resurfaced under the local improvement scheme in the north Kilkenny area in 2019 and 2020. [22842/21]
View answerA total of €58 Million has been allocated under the Local Improvement Scheme (LIS) since it was reintroduced in 2017 and this funding has benefited over 10,000 landowners and residents across 2,400 road projects.
An allocation of €577,810 was made to Kilkenny under the LIS in 2019 and 2020 combined, which allowed for improvement works to be undertaken on a total of 15 roads. The Local Authority in Kilkenny will be able to provide the Deputy with details on the specific locations of these roads.
I will be launching the 2021 Local Improvement Scheme in the coming weeks and the allocation for each Local Authority area will be announced at that stage.
