Cork South Central Fine Gael TD Jerry Buttimer has welcomed a 12.5% increase in the Winter Maintenance Grant.
 
Deputy Buttimer said “the increase in the Winter Maintenance Grant will assist local authorities in keeping important roads clear during the winter months.  The extra funding has been made possible by savings made in the Department of Transport.  As well as the additional funding the savings made have also helped purchase 60,000 tonnes of salt on top of the supplies purchased separately by the National Roads Authority.
 
“Cork City will receive €48,534 and Cork County will get almost €1.3 million, an increase of €161,694, in the Winter Maintenance Grant.  This funding will help to cover the cost of purchasing, transporting, storing and spreading salt, and other works associated with extreme weather conditions.
 
“Over the last few winters we have experienced harsh conditions which made some roads impassable.   The announcement by Minister Varadkar of the increased Winter Maintenance Grant, nationally from €10 million to €11.25 million, will help in ensuring that we are more prepared for harsh weather conditions this winter.”
