Mr. Ray O'Leary:
Yes. They were all within the overall roads budget. In the context of the overall cuts, it was decided to devolve prioritisation between mainstream road funding and CIS or LIS-type projects to local authorities in order that they could make decisions at local level as to what was appropriate. In line with commitments in the programme for Government, the CIS has been reintroduced this year and the Department of Rural and Community Development is now funding the LIS.
