Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 24 November 2022
164. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Transport if he will provide a schedule by local authority, heading and amount of the funding and grants returned and or unspent in part or in full to his Department in 2019, 2020, 2021 and to date in 2022. [58594/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraDeputy the improvement and maintenance of regional and local roads is the statutory responsibility of each local authority, in accordance with the provisions of Section 13 of the Roads Act 1993. Works on those roads are funded from Councils' own resources supplemented by State Road grants. The initial selection and prioritisation of works to be funded is also a matter for the local authority.
In relation to the regional and local road grant funding allocated to each local authority in each of the years 2019 to 2022, details of the regional and local road grant allocations to local authorities are outlined in the regional and local road allocations booklets which are available in the Oireachtas Library.
The funding drawn down by local authorities in each of the years 2019 to 2021, is recorded in the regional and local road payments booklets which are also available in the Oireachtas Library.
The table below sets out the grants paid to each local authority to date, for 2022.
