I am informed that six county councils have approved of local councils for the purposes of Part VIII of the Local Government Act, 1941. The counties where local councils have been approved and the number approved in each case are: Cork, 8; Donegal, 6; Limerick, 35; Mayo, 1; Meath, 2; Monaghan, 2. In no case has a county council delegated functions to a local council.
