I received two copy letters from the person referred to by the Deputy, one on 3 November 2005 and the other on 20 January 2006. My private secretary responded to both representations explaining that the upkeep and repair of non-national roads, such as the ones referred to in the letters, was the responsibility of South Tipperary County Council.

The National Roads Authority has recently announced its grant allocations for 2006. South Tipperary County Council has been allocated a total of €43,190,190 for road improvement works in its administrative area.
