asked the Minister for Local Government if he will state (a) the amount of money allocated to the Dublin County Council for roads; (b) when the allocation was made; (c) under what headings, and if he will confirm that the road grants were not cut since the present Minister took office.

The reply, which contains statistical information on the lines requested by the Deputy will, with your permission, a Chinn Chomhairle, be circulated in the Official Report. The following is the information:—
There will be no alteration in the amounts of the grants allocated from the Road Fund for the current year to the Dublin County Council. The total amount allocated is £65,576, made up as follows:—
|
Main Road Cpkeep Grant |
£32,576 notified on 7th May, 1951. |
|
Main Road Improvement Grant |
£18,000 notified on 19th February, 1951. |
|
Co. Road Improvement Grant |
£15,000 notified on 19th February, 1951. |
Would the Minister be prepared to increase the road grants for Dublin County Council in the coming year?
I suppose the Minister is aware that Deputy Rooney voted for a reduction in the road grants.
