“The substantial new funding allocated today is hugely important for National Roads and greenways here in Donegal.

“The funding is part of the government’s investment in improving our National Roads and greenways infrastructure. It will help ensure that our roads are safe, reliable and accessible for everyone who uses them,” he said.

€22.8m has been allocated for roads, €3.8m for green areas, while more than €2m has been committed to progressing design and planning works on the Ten-T Donegal Projects.

“A top priority of Fianna Fáil in Government is continuing to invest in the maintenance and improvement of our road network to make it as safe as possible while improving regional connectivity and supporting regional economic development,” added Minister McConalogue.
