Scéim na mBóithre Áise, to which the Deputy is referring, has been suspended for some years now.  Under the provisions of the scheme, which was administered by my Department, financial assistance was provided to the relevant local authorities to undertake repairs in respect of Gaeltacht roads which met the terms of the scheme.

As with the rest of the country, responsibility for such roads in Gaeltacht regions now rests with the relevant local authorities.
