Flood damage to local roads

Summary

Deputy Carey asks about repairing flood-damaged roads in Clare; the Taoiseach says funding and broader flood-relief measures will be addressed by the responsible Minister.

I welcome the €30 million allocation to Clare County Council in respect of local and regional roads. In the context of the recent flooding, extensive damage has been done to local roads, an issue which has been debated in the House. Is the Taoiseach aware whether any work has been done on creating a budget to carry out repairs to local roads-----

-----the local authorities have responded to the flooding consequences throughout the country, and that has been sent to the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport. Between that and the humanitarian scheme administered by the Red Cross, the Minister, Deputy Donohoe, will respond to this tomorrow with a budget of in excess of €100 million to deal with the consequences of flooding.
