John Connor
Ceist:27 Mr. Connor asked the Minister for the Environment if he will allow greater discretion to local authorities in decision-making and the spending of funds under the specific grant for improvement works on non-national roads notified to councils some time ago; his views on whether the minimum expenditure on any one project fixed at £75,000 is too high; and whether a greater portion of this fund should have been directed to county road restoration and maintenance.
