Government funding for local roadd repairs are down on last year, despite a bill of €11m faced by Clare County Council following recent flooding and freezing conditions.
In all, the Department of Transport has announced almost €15.6m for regional and local roads in Clare , a decrease of about 3% on last year’s figure.
However over half of the allocation, €8.2m, has been given to the council as an improvement grant and can be used to repair roads that have been badly damaged by the recent adverse weather conditions
