Donegal is looking for €47m next year for major road works in the county.
And there are expectations that €14.5m of that will be for roads in the Donegal Municipal District.
Donegal councillors and officials made their case for the funding yesterday during a meeting in Dublin with representatives of Transport Infrastructure Ireland.
Fianna Fail Councillor Micheal Naughton says he would be very confident of getting allocations for certain key routes.
