Extra €288,614 for Longford rural roads and laneways

Longford will receive €288,614 in additional funding for repairs and improvement works on rural roads and laneways following a allocation announcement.

This additional funding plus the €304,736 allocated earlier in the year means a total of €593,350 has been allocated to Longford under the Local Improvement Scheme (LIS).

Making the announcement, Minister for Rural and Community Development, Heather Humphreys, said, “We are all familiar with the roads and laneways within our own communities that are full of potholes and in desperate need of repair.

“The funding being delivered under LIS will help address this – benefitting so many of our families, businesses and farmers.”

Senator Micheál Carrigy said, “Almost €130 million has been invested through LIS since the scheme was re-introduced in 2017 and 4,000 roads have been funded for repair works.
“This has made a real difference to the lives of over 16,000 landowners and residents in rural Ireland, and many more visitors.”
