The Local Improvement Scheme, or LIS, is a programme for improvement works on small private or non-public roads in rural areas. The scheme is funded by my Department and is administered through the Local Authorities.
On 7th February last I launched the 2019 LIS and allocated a sum of €10 million to Local Authorities under the scheme. The number and location of roads to benefit from improvement works in 2019 is a matter for the relevant Local Authority.
The following table outlines the funding allocated to each Local Authority for works in 2019 and the amount of funding drawn down to date in respect of each allocation. Under the terms of the scheme, Local Authorities can only draw down funding for projects that have been completed.
