I propose to take Questions Nos. 108 to 110, inclusive, together.

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 those roads are funded from Councils' own resources supplemented by State road grants, where applicable.

Details of the regional and local road grant payments to local authorities in 2020 and grant allocations for 2021 are outlined in the regional and local road allocations and payments booklets which are available in the Oireachtas Library. The tables included in the allocations and payments booklets outline expenditure by type of grant programme.

The table below sets out the expenditure to the end of August this year for each local authority under the Bridge Rehabilitation Programme, the Safety Improvement Works Programme and the Community Involvement Scheme.
