asked the Minister for Local Government if he is aware of delays in the making of a new roadway at the Californian Hills, Ballyfermot, Dublin; whether his Department has made or will make any contribution towards the cost; whether the work has been under the supervision of or inspected by any officer of his Department; whether any of the work already completed is now deemed to be unfit; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
The planning, execution and supervision of road works in Dublin city is the responsibility of Dublin Corporation. I have been informed by the corporation that part of the base course of the carriageway along the line of the proposed link road between Kylemore Road and the Lucan road was laid as a matter of urgency to provide access to a number of adjoining industrial sites. The site of the proposed road was inspected by officers of my Department and the corporation was notified that the scheme has been approved in principle subject to the submission of detailed plans. Until these details are supplied it is not possible to decide the amount of the grant, if any, that will be made available for the work.
