Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 22 March 2018
305. Deputy Tom Neville asked the Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht if the Scéim na mBóithre Áise will be reintroduced in view of the condition of roads in Gaeltacht areas; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [13502/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs the Deputy will be aware, responsibility for the maintenance of roads, including roads in Gaeltacht areas, lies with the relevant local authorities.
Scéim na mBóithre Áise, through which funding was previously provided by my Department to local authorities for the upgrade of qualifying access roads in Gaeltacht areas is not in operation at this time and there are no plans at present to reactivate the scheme.
