There has been a mixed reaction to additional funding announced for the Shannonside region for Local Improvements Schemes.
A total of €393,041 has been allocated for repairs and improvement works on non-public roads in rural communities in Longford.
Leitrim is to receive €234,000 under the scheme to bring its total to just over €503,000.
