I propose to take Questions Nos. 1111 and 1112 together.

Details of the regional and local road grant payments to county councils are outlined in the regional and local road grant payment booklets which are available in the Dáil Library.  Details of the 2013 regional and local road grant allocations to each county council are also available in the Dáil library.

With regard to national roads, details of the allocations to each local authority are also available in the Dáil library.  However, details of the actual drawdown of funding for these roads is a matter for the National Roads Authority.

Noting the above position, I have referred the Deputy's question to the NRA for direct reply.  Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.
