Motor Vehicle (Duties and Licences) Bill 2003: Second Stage (Resumed).
In general terms the national development plan provides for the investment of some €2.43 billion in the non-national road network in the 2002-2006 period. Expenditure to the end of 2002 is ahead of that profiled for the period, while €165.29 million has been allocated to restoration and improvement in 2003. This will enable all county councils to complete all their 2003 schemes as part of the 2002-2005 multiannual restoration programme. They may dip into 2004 on one or more of those schemes so we are slightly ahead of our targets.
