I have figures from TII for 2015, 2016 and 2017 regarding maintenance and improvements. Regarding what Mr. Maher says about the regional variations, I note that Mayo - I apologise to Senator O'Mahony - got €32 million for maintenance and Dublin city got €34,000. Over the three years, combining the allocations, Galway got €19 million, Kerry €18 million and Donegal €17 million. This certainly shows that the allocations are happening in a very different way. Could Mr. Maher come back to us with some indication of these regional disparities, where the underspends are and whether each spend is a good one? Should there be a different kind of improvement on the roads that could cut down on the spend?
