Over €17.5 million has been announced for national road projects in Cavan and Monaghan.
However, that figure is slightly down on the last local allocation.
This funding, from the Department of Transport, will go towards the maintenance and improvement of the national road network in the region.

There have been calls for an increase in the allocation for local and regional roads in the two counties.
An announcement of those allocations is expected in the new year.
