We received the local improvement scheme, LIS, allocation of €1.13 million last week. While we welcome the funding, we need a lot more. This funding will just about do for between somewhere between 20 and 25 roads. There are still over 550 roads on the list. We started out with 700 back in 2018. The local authority has signalled that it could deal with 100 or 120 applications each year if it receives the funding. However, these are not private roads. There is a perception out there that maybe they are, but they are not. They are public roads with as many as 20 users on many of them. Those people are entitled to good roads as much as the people in Dublin 4 are. How are we going to deal with this enormous problem?

Will the Government give more funding or what?

This is important. It will take 20 to 24 years to complete.
