Some suggestions were made about the quality of the work in this regard and I take Senator Mansergh's comments on board. However, the Fitzpatrick value for money study was quite complimentary to local authorities. The road restoration programme tackles roads on a long-term basis rather than a temporary or ad hoc basis. That is how it should be. We will carry out a study of road pavements later this year and we hope to have definite recommendations early next year, if not by the end of this year.
