Amharc ar fhreagraDetails of the regional and local road grant payments to local authorities are outlined in the regional and local road grant payment booklets which are available in the Dáil Library. Payments for 2014 are not finalised yet and it will be the end of the year before the final payments are known. Details of the 2014 regional and local road grant allocations to each local authority are also available in the Dáil library.
With regard to national roads, details of the actual drawdown of funding for these roads is a matter for the National Roads Authority. Noting this position, I have referred the Deputy's question to the NRA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you don't receive a reply within 10 working days.
