Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 24 April 2007
1004 Mr. Kehoe asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government if his Department has received information from Carlow County Council regarding the building of a new bridge in Tullow, County Carlow to alleviate the chronic and ever growing traffic problem in the area. [14493/07]
Amharc ar fhreagraResponsibility for the provision of non-national roads and bridges in its area is a matter for each individual road authority to be funded from its own resources supplemented by State grants provided by my Department. My Department has allocated a specific grant of €750,000 to Carlow County Council this year for the Tullow Relief Road, which includes the provision of a new bridge in Tullow. Progress with the advancement of that project is now a matter for the local authority.
