Written Answers - Roads Funding.
In 2002, Wexford County Council, as licensing authority for the county, collected €18.6 million net of administrative costs in motor tax. Non-national road grants of just under €13 million were paid to the Wexford local authorities in the same year. These grant payments were over and above grants paid by the National Roads Authority for the improvement and maintenance of national roads in County Wexford. Details of these grants may appropriately be sought from the NRA.
