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. The initial selection and prioritisation of works to be funded is also a matter for the local authority.
As regards the regional and local road grant funding allocated to each local authority in 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023, details of the regional and local road grant allocations to local authorities are outlined in the Regional and Local Road Allocations Booklets which are available in the Oireachtas Library.
As regards the funding drawn down by each local authority in 2020, 2021 and 2022, this is reflected in the Regional and Local Road Payments Booklets which are also available in the Oireachtas Library.
