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 grants, where applicable.
Under the Regional and Local Road Grant Programme, my Department provides funding for road rehabilitation works under the Restoration Improvement Grant and each Council is required to submit a 3-year programme of works. As indicated previously to the Deputy, Cork City Council has included road pavement improvement works on the John F Connolly road in its 2023 Restoration Improvement Grant work programme. It is the Council's responsibility for scheduling and prioritising projects within this programme.
