Ceist:377 Mr. Creed asked the Minister for the Environment and Local Government his views on whether the discretionary spend budget for routine maintenance is adequate in view of the fact that much of the money being made available to local authorities for road works is specifically allocated for individual roads; the position in relation to roads which are not part of the five year rolling programme of improvements; and the plans, if any, he has to make available to all local authorities an increased budget for routine maintenance of roads not covered by the five year plan.
