There have been significant increases in recent years in the level of State funding provided to local authorities for the provision, improvement and maintenance of non-national roads. State funding in 2007 for non-national roads, at over €607.5 million, is at its highest ever level, and represents a very substantial increase of 9%, or almost €50 million, on last year's record allocation.
In determining the annual non-national road grant allocations, the overall objective is to resource each local authority appropriately in relation to their ongoing and special needs.
Details of the 2006 non-national road grant payments and the 2007 allocations to each local authority are set out in the following table:
Local Authority | 2006 Non-National Road Grant Payments | 2007 Non-National Road Grant Allocations | 2007 Non-National Road Grant Allocations Increase/Decrease on 2006 Payments |
