Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government (Mr. Cullen)

Engineering specifications for the depth of pavements to be used on rural non-national roads are set out in my Department's best practice document, entitled Guidelines on the Depth of Overlay to be used on Rural Non National Roads, dated May 1999.

The National Roads Authority's publication, Specifications for Road Works, dated March 2000, as amended, deals with the type of materials to be used in the construction of both national and non-national roads.
