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 (in this case, Dublin City Council) to be funded from its own resources supplemented by State road grants.
It is, therefore, a matter for the local authority to decide on the appropriate materials which should be used to maintain and rehabilitate road surfaces within its functional area while having regard to the options available under the relevant standards and guidance documents.
