Greenways and EV Charging Infrastructure
Roads Protection and Renewal
The improvement and maintenance of regional and local roads is the statutory responsibility of each local authority, in accordance with the provisions of Section 13 of the Roads Act 1993. Works on those roads are funded from Councils' own resources supplemented by State road grants. The initial selection and prioritisation of works to be funded is also a matter for the local authority.
For the funding provided to each local authority in 2019, 2020 and 2021, details of the regional and local road grant payments to local authorities are outlined in the regional and local road payments booklets which are available in the Oireachtas Library. For regional and local road grant payments in 2022, the table below sets out the grants paid to each local authority to date.
