I am delighted to let the Minister know that Offaly County Council is wasting no time in spending the funding allocation.

Will he consider developing a specific scheme that will take into account the fact that much of the road network in Offaly is on peat, including many of private roads? With the advent of climate change and given the peat roads last for only five years, rather than the 20 years one might expect, will he consider a specific scheme? It is a concern of many engineers in Offaly.
