A modest increase in funding for works on Clare's local and regional roads has been announced.
The Department of Transport has allocated 13.1 million euro in funding for improvement, rehabilitation and maintenance works here in 2015.

Part of the money will be spent on over a dozen bridges, with more going on low-cost safety improvement works in Parteen, Miltown, Doolin, Quin, Bodyke and Ennistymon.
The allocation contains nearly half a million euro for roads damaged during last winter's storms, and when this is removed Clare County Council says there has been a like-for-like increase of just over 250 thousand euro.
However, Senior Engineer with the Council Tom Tiernan says there is a sting in the tail.
