As the Deputy may be aware, this is not a public road. It is in the ownership of the Department and signs have been recently erected on the road to state this. It is not suitable for, and should not be used for, access or recreational purposes.
Discussions have taken place with Donegal County Council with respect to this road, however my Department has no immediate plans with regard to the resurfacing of the road.
My Department remains open to any constructive proposal with regard to the road, while also taking account of any relevant procedures in relation to proposals concerning rights of way on Minister owned land.
