Fergus O'Dowd (Louth, Fine Gael)

I refer to the local government services legislation. Does the Taoiseach agree the Government must urgently reappraise the cutbacks in funding for local, regional and national roads? It has never been cheaper to construct roads and there has been never been a greater need to repair these roads. It is 40 years since we experienced such bad weather and the roads have disintegrated. Will the Taoiseach examine this issue again urgently?
