Question:
To ask the Minister for Regional Development whether his Department has any plans to develop a strategy for the adoption and maintenance of unadopted alleyways and paths.

Answer:

My Department’s Roads Service does not have any plans to develop a strategy for the adoption and maintenance of unadopted alleyways and paths.

Public expenditure to bring such alleyways and paths up to adoption standard, and to maintain them, would be an unjustifiable cost to my Department and would not provide good value for money.
