Leo Varadkar (FG), Dublin West

There are a number of sources of finance for city and county councils when it comes to repairing roads. There are grants from the Department of Transport. Councils can use their own resources from commercial rates, for example, and the local property tax. The Minister for Transport is responsible for allocations by county. He acknowledges, notwithstanding a very big allocation for local and regional roads, that the cost of repairing roads has gone up. He is examining that at the moment.
