The improvement and maintenance of regional and local roads is the statutory responsibility of each local authority, in accordance with the provisions of Section 13 of the Roads Act 1993. Works on those roads are funded from local authorities own resources and are supplemented by State road grants. The initial allocations and final payments to Clare County Council under the Regional and Local Roads Investment Programme between 2007 and 2010 are outlined in the following table.

*This figure represents the payment to date in 2010. Final figures for 2010 will not be available until early 2011. It should be noted however, that it is expected that overall there will be full expenditure of the 2010 regional and local road grants by the end of the year.
