NB. NTA is responsible for investment in sustainable projects in Cork City.
Details of the regional and local road grant payments to local authorities (including Cork City Council) for the period 2011-2015 are outlined in the regional and local road grant payment booklets which are available in the Dáil Library. Details of the 2016 regional and local road grant allocations to Cork City Council will be announced shortly.
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 are a matter for Transport Infrastructure Ireland (formerly known as the NRA).
