We have the local authorities, the Secretary General of the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport and TII involved here. We have a lot of different bodies dealing with the issue of roads. Why did we allow ourselves to get to a position where the funding was so low that we now have a major problem with roads? We are now getting to a point where it is going to cost us more in the long run because we have allowed a situation to develop whereby roads were not properly maintained.
