Kildare regional road and bridge grants
Kildare received £450,000 for specified regional roads, and the Minister said bridge proposals were under examination; no further grant funds were available this year, though acceptable proposals could be considered later.
asked the Minister for the Environment if he will consider making special grants available for regional road improvements in County Kildare, with particular reference to the urgent need to carry out repairs to bridges at Kilcock, Maynooth, Leixlip, Celbridge, Sallins and Naas.
Comment on this
The special grants to Kildare County Council in 1984 for regional roads, amounting to £450,000 are for works on the Naas-Blessington and Kilcock to Clane roads. There are no funds at my disposal from which grants for further works can be made available this year.
The council have submitted proposals for bridge works, which are at present the subject of examination by my Department. If the proposals are found to be acceptable I will consider making a grant available towards the costs in due course.
