The improvement and maintenance of non-national roads in its area is a matter for each individual road authority to be funded from its own resources supplemented by State road grants.

Specific grants for the improvement and maintenance of tertiary county roads were not allocated to local authorities in 2007. Works on such roads may, at the discretion of the local authority, be funded on foot of discretionary grants or under the pavement restoration programme.

The grants allocated to Limerick County Council in 2007 under those grant categories were:

(a)Restoration Improvement €8.612 million

(b)Restoration Maintenance €3.098 million

(c)Discretionary Improvement €0.956 million

(d)Discretionary Maintenance €1.130 million.
