The provision and improvement of non-national roads in County Waterford is a matter for Waterford County Council to be financed from its own resources supplemented by State grants provided by my Department. Grants totalling €635,091 were provided by my Department for this proposal over the period 2003 to 2005. In 2006, a grant of €366,000 was allocated to the proposal under the new grants scheme for strategic non-national roads which support the National Spatial Strategy. I intend to announce road grant allocations for 2007 early in the new year.
