Pádraig O hOgáin
The replies are:—(a) £160,000 approximately. (b) £1,500 to Kilrush Urban District Council. (c) The work at Kilrush has not yet commenced. Tenders are at present being invited.
Mr. Hogan
Does that mean that only £1,500 has been allocated from the Local Government portion of the relief grant to County Clare?
That would seem to be so.
Mr. Hogan
Can the Minister say whether any applications have been received from the County Clare Board of Health for further grants?
I am not aware of it.
Mr. Hogan
That is a summary way to deal with it.
