At a meeting of Cork City Council one of the difficulties expressed is that whereas they are receiving money for road work programmes, bicycle lanes, bus routes, green routes and all the rest, their basic ability to deal with potholes and the absence of funding for that type of maintenance is causing difficulties. Is there a flexibility at the end of the year when there is a carryover that the council could target the money to a more general use rather than to specific construction projects?
