APPENDIX I
Eligible projects under Local Improvements Scheme
Eligible projects include:
 Those determined as most requiring attention on a countywide basis or electoral
area basis in a small number of counties, subject to the paragraphs which follow:

Projects which provide access to parcels of land of which at least two are owned
or occupied by different persons engaged in separate agricultural activities,

in agriculture.

Roads serving only Council cottage, i.e. non-vested cottages.

Roads or drains on bogs being developed commercially for large scale turf

Selection of Projects - Priority on a countywide basis
A key requirement in selecting projects for funding under the Local Improvements
Scheme is that Councils should ensure as far as practicable that priority is given to
projects most requiring attention in the county as a whole. The responsibility for
deciding the priority within the county is a matter for individual County Councils.
Future Maintenance
On completion of a project the responsibility of the Council is at an end and future
maintenance of the works is the responsibility of the users.
