The improvement and maintenance of regional and local roads in its area is a statutory function of each road authority in accordance with the provisions of section 13 of the Roads Act, 1993. Works on such roads are a matter for the relevant local authority, to be funded from its own resources, supplemented by State grants. The initial selection and prioritisation of projects to be funded is also a matter for the local authority. As Minister for Transport I have no function in relation to the interpretation of civil liability legislation.
