​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 such roads are funded from local authorities' own resources supplemented by State road grants. I can confirm that my Department received an application for funding to replace a collapsed bridge over the Owenea river at Mullantiboyle.  A letter has issued to Donegal County Council approving funding for the construction of this replacement bridge under the Bridge Rehabilitation grant programme.
