I propose to take Questions Nos. 496 and 497 together.
The total National Development Plan spend under the heading of national roads in the operational programme for economic and social infrastructure for the south and east region from 2000 to end 2005 was â¬5,024,624,000.
This represents 142.6% of the original programme forecast of â¬3,523.780 or 120.3% of the most recent programme forecast of â¬4,177,187,000.
The figures cover expenditure on both national primary and national secondary roads. The National Roads Authority, under the aegis of my Department, is responsible for the provision of both national primary and secondary roads. All other roads are the responsibility of the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government. Accordingly, it has not been possible to provide the information in exactly the format requested by the Deputy.
