The improvement and maintenance of regional and local roads is the statutory responsibility of the local authority, in accordance with the provisions of Section 13 of the Roads Act 1993. Works on those roads are funded from the local authority's own resources supplemented by State road grants. The initial selection and prioritisation of works to be funded is also a matter for the local authority.

Details of the regional and local road grant allocations to local authorities for 2018 are outlined in the regional and local road grant allocation booklet which is available in the Dáil Library.
