In response to the Deputy's first question, I agree with him. It is something we have all come across, whereby roads have been removed for infrastructure and have not been returned or there has been maybe a settling of materials. It is a matter for the local engineer, the local authority, to rectify that. In any of the cases I have had in my constituency, that would be the case. The local authority is responsible for the upkeep of the roads.
