To ask the Minister for Infrastructure for an assessment of the longevity of pothole repairs carried out by his Department.

The longevity of pothole repairs can be impacted by weather conditions, particularly heavy rainfall or very low temperatures, as well as the quality of the adjacent road surface. Additionally, there may be an operational need to carry out a temporary repair at certain sites to remove the defect until arrangements are made for a permanent repair. In general, however, the minimum expected longevity of a repair would be two years.
