It should be noted that responsibility for the matter referred to by the Deputy is a matter for Donegal County Council in the first instance.

In the period since 2002, under the Gaeltacht Strategic Roads Scheme, my Department has provided grant aid in excess of €2 million for this particular road that serves Donegal International Airport at An Charraig Fhinn. The question of approving additional grant aid under the scheme in 2010 will be considered in the context of funding available to my Department for this purpose, having regard to existing commitments and priorities.
