On 2 November 1987, Dublin County Council submitted revised draft contract documents for the proposed Navan Road scheme to my Department for approval. These documents are currently the subject of discussions between the Department and the local authority.
Road grants totalling £2.346 million were paid to the local authority in respect of this scheme up to the end of December, 1987. The 1988 road grant allocation is £1 million.
The timing of this scheme is being considered in the context of the preparation of a blueprint for road development which I intend to publish within the next few months.
