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

My Department is providing grant assistance to Longford County Council under the Specific Grant programme for various improvement works on the R392 at present.
