Unfortunately, I am unable to accept this amendment because it would not be in the interests of any local authority that an amount of €65 million should be ring-fenced for tertiary roads, which comprise only 23% of the non-national road network. That is not to say that I do not accept that there is a problem, but any Members who have been involved in public life for a long period will realise that all difficulties are not resolved immediately. We have a programme in place and we will have another one in place after 2005. I await the outcome of the pavement condition study and I would be interested in its views and recommendations in regard to these roads.
