Written answers

I propose to take Questions Nos. 150, 151, 206 and 209 together.

In accordance with the provisions of Section 13 of the Roads Act 1993, each local authority has statutory responsibility for the improvement and maintenance of their regional and local roads. Works on those roads are funded from local authorities' own resources and are supplemented by State Road grants. Of these grants, the vast majority (approximately 90%) are targeted at the maintenance and renewal of the existing network with c. 10% of the remaining funding invested in new roads/bridges or for road realignments.

Arising from the arrangements in place in relation to Local Property Tax receipts, the four Dublin Councils are largely self-funding for works on regional and local roads since 2015 and my Department no longer provides grants to these Councils under the main regional and local road grant categories.

The information sought by the Deputy is not available in the format requested; however, outlined in the table below is the total grant funding provided to local authorities for the maintenance, upkeep and improvement of the regional and local road network from 2019 to 2024. Furthermore, a detailed breakdown of funding for each local authority per grant type (of which there are currently 17 types) is available in the Regional and Local Road Allocations Booklets housed in the Oireachtas Library.
