Motor Vehicle (Duties and Licences) Bill 2003: Committee and Remaining Stages.

 

The Minister of State said that it is a matter for local authorities to decide how they deal with allocations for tertiary roads. I do not have the exact figures for my local authority but my colleague, Deputy Gilmore, asked his council, Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council, about this. It predicted that the estimate for the restoration of tertiary roads in its area would be €10 million, whereas the money it could provide from its own resources in any year was approximately €500,000. That is a big shortfall which is probably replicated in other areas.
