Since 1997, non-national road grant allocations to Cork County Council have increased by 70% from £16.3 million, 20.7 million, in 1997 to £27.9 million, 35.4 million, in 2001. The 2001 allocation is an increase of 20% on the 2000 payment figure of £23.27 million, 29.546 million.
A submission from Cork County Council seeking additional funding under the restoration programme is being examined in the context of the 2002 non-national road grant allocations which I intend to announce early next year.
