Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 11 February 2010
134 Deputy Billy Timmins asked the Minister for Transport if he has received an application from Wicklow County Council for funding in respect of road improvements and repairs; the details of this application; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [7397/10]
Amharc ar fhreagraI assume that the Deputy is referring to the 2010 regional and local road grant applications submitted by Wicklow County Council. As the Deputy is aware, the improvement and maintenance of regional and local roads, in its area, is a statutory function of each road authority in accordance with the provisions of section 13 of the Roads Act, 1993. Works on such roads are a matter for the relevant local authority to be funded from its own resources supplemented by State road grants.
The initial selection and prioritisation of projects to be funded is also a matter for the local authority. Regional and local road grants are allocated under a number of grant categories. The main categories of grant, for which local authorities select projects for regional and local road grant aid, are the Specific Improvement Grant Scheme, the Strategic Grant Scheme and the Restoration Improvement Grant Scheme. The projects submitted to my Department by Wicklow County Council for funding in 2010 under those grant categories are set out in the following tables. I am at present considering the allocation of funding for all local authorities. The 2010 allocations will be announced shortly.
