I propose to take Questions Nos. 426 and 412 together.

The National Development Plan 2007-13 provides that, over the period of the plan, €4.3 billion will be invested by the Exchequer and the Local Government Fund in regional and local roads. Total grants paid to local authorities in 2007 and the grants allocated in 2008 are €607.535 million and €618.714 million respectively.
