The improvement and maintenance of non-national roads in County Cork is a matter for Cork County Council to be funded from its own resources supplemented by State grants provided by my Department. The 2007 grant allocation by my Department to Cork County Council for improvement and maintenance works on non-national roads is €58,360,882. This includes a discretionary maintenance grant of €3,844,000 and restoration maintenance grant of €10,533,000 which may be used for eligible maintenance works on non-national roads. All non-national road grants for 2007 have now been committed and there are no additional funds at my disposal from which further grant allocations could be made at this time.
