The improvement and realignment of non-national roads and bridges in County Kildare is a matter for Kildare County Council to be funded from its own resources supplemented by State grants.

In 2004, my Department sought applications from road authorities for funding under the 2005 EU co-financed specific improvements grant scheme. Kildare County Council submitted a number of applications but these did not include an application for funding for Cope Bridge.
