Question 238: To ask the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs if, in view of the substandard road from Crolly to Donegal Airport at Carrickfin with a particularly dangerous stretch at Meenaleck, it is envisaged to make an allocation of moneys under the Gaeltacht strategic roads programme for this road in 2010; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

In the first instance, it should be noted that responsibility for the regional road referred to by the Deputy rests with Donegal County Council. Since 2002, my Department has allocated a sum in excess of €2 million in grant aid to improve this road under the Gaeltacht Strategic Roads Scheme. The question of allocating further funds under this scheme will be considered in the context of the funding available to my Department in 2010, as well as outstanding commitments.
