asked the Minister for Local Government if representations have recently been made to him to increase the rate of travelling allowance at present operated in respect of officials of Dublin County Council and other local authorities; and, if so, whether he has come to any decision on the matter.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Travelling Allowance of Local Authority Officials.
I have received representations to increase the rates of travelling allowances payable to officers of local authorities. The representations do not relate specifically to officials of Dublin County Council. I have decided to allow certain increases as from 1st January last and am informing the local authorities accordingly.
