Responsibility for the provision of non-national roads and bridges in its area is a matter for each individual local authority to be funded from its own resources supplemented by State grants provided by my Department. Accordingly, progress with the advancement of the proposed Macken Street bridge project is a matter for Dublin City Council. My Department has allocated a grant of €5 million to the Council for the project in 2007.
