The improvement and maintenance of regional and local roads such as those at side road off Ahane Road, County Kerry 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 supplemented by State road grants.

I will announcing grant allocations for 2015 early in the new year. The selection and prioritisation of road maintenance and repair works to be undertaken is a matter for the local authority.
