The total amount of funding, both capital and current, provided by my Department for the non-national roads programme in 2003, was €434 million.

I recently announced non-national road grant allocations of almost €477 million for 2004. This is more than double the 1997 State expenditure on non-national roads and represents an increase of almost 10% on last year's initial grant allocation. Expenditure on national roads is a matter for my colleague the Minister for Transport.
