asked the Minister for Local Government and Public Health whether he will state for each county the amount expended in each of the last three financial years on the maintenance of (a) trunk roads, and (b) main roads, the sum provided from the Road Fund and the sum provided from rates.

The Deputy presumably refers to (a) trunk roads and (b) link roads. The statistics that are available do not segregate main road expenditure under these separate heads. The information so far as available is being compiled and will be sent to the Deputy.
