Funding of €29.8m has been announced for County Donegal to improve main roads and to develop green areas.
The allocation will be made to Donegal County Council through Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) and is part of a national funding package of €440m. Donegal is receiving the third largest allocation in the country.
Donegal minister, Charlie McConalogue, has welcomed the announcement.
“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.
