Has this issue ever been examined or reviewed in any shape or form in terms of the equity in terms of the finance that has been given? To put it bluntly, there are a lot of rubbish roads in these Dublin local authority areas at a regional level. Perhaps the main roads are much better in terms of funding and surfaced or whatever, but there are a whole bunch of roads that are not well maintained right across the area of the Dublin local authorities. Where other local authorities get funding, they can get roads fixed, there is a better return, there is a better connection between the local councillor and local democracy, etc. Is this an issue that has ever been reviewed in terms of how Dublin local authorities are being funded when it comes to road maintenance?
