In the budget there is a 10% increase allocated to fixing the roads while the overall budget to local authorities was decreased by 7%. There is a commitment in the programme for Government for this Government to restore fully the local improvement scheme.
That was a very beneficial scheme in terms of supporting the upgrade and repair of non-local authority roads across rural Ireland. Can the Minister confirm to the House today that this scheme is to be introduced, when that will happen and if there will be a specific allocation to each local authority to administer the scheme?
