I propose to take Questions Nos. 296 and 297 together.

Information available in my Department on the cost per kilometre of road resurfacing works on regional and local roads is in respect of the State funded road restoration programme. Resurfacing works funded under that programme fall into two categories, i.e. road pavement improvements and surface dressing.

The average cost per kilometre for resurfacing works under those two categories for each of the years 2004 to 2007 is set out in the following table.
