Mr. Graham Doyle:
The Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport allocates its funding for regional and local roads on a per kilometre basis within a local authority area. We then encourage local authorities to try to supplement it with their own funding. However, we apply our funding on a per kilometre basis in the first instance.
