The improvement and maintenance of regional and local roads in its area is a statutory function of each individual local authority to be funded from its own resources supplemented by State road grants paid by my Department. In 2009, a road grant of €1.2 million was allocated to Sligo Borough Council for the proposed Western Distributor Road. Progress with the project is now a matter for Sligo Borough Council.
