A Donegal Councillor is calling for the current Local Improvement Scheme to be scrapped, and replaced with an alternative that would better suit the needs of local Ireland.
Yesterday, an extra €491,000 was confirmed for Donegal, bringing the county s 2021 total amount to just over €1,188,000.
However, Cllr Micheal Cholm Mac Giolla Easbuig says at current LIS allocation rates, it would take Donegal County Council 30 years to process and follow-through on all the requests they currently have for improvements to non-national roads, even without any new applications.
Cllr Mac Giolla Easbuig says the current scheme does not come anywhere near what is required.

A Donegal Councillor says Housing Action Groups need to be formed in every county to ensure that social housing provision is not privatised.
Cllr Michael Cholm MacGiolla Easbuig says he s long argued that councillors should have more say, and more housing construction should be done at local authority level.
However, he fears government policy is going in the opposite direction.
