asked the Minister for Finance whether he will sanction a grant for the repair of the road leading to the footbridge over Camas Bay between the townlands of Muckanaghederdauhaulia and Kinvara, County Galway, in order to make it safe for children attending school and in addition to provide employment for men in receipt of unemployment assistance.

I assume that the road referred to by the Deputy is the causeway connecting the footbridge with the county road at Kinvara. I have no responsibility for the repair of this passage except in so far as it may form the subject of a suitable employment scheme for execution during the winter months. The proposal, however, will be considered on its merits in competition with other proposals from the same area in connection with next winter's programme of employment schemes.
