The Minister and the Minister of State, Deputy Chambers, will have heard me highlight the urgent need to provide additional funding for the non-national road network in counties Cavan and Monaghan. The Minister of State and the Minister have met councillors and council officials in both counties. We took that opportunity to outline clearly to them that in view of the particular problems we have, in an area that has drumlin territory, we need additional funding. The commitment in the programme for Government to keep roads up to a proper standard is not being honoured at present. Both Cavan and Monaghan councils need additional funding this year for the non-national road network.
