20.

Mr. T. Lynch

asked the Minister for Local Government the amount allotted to each local authority in road fund grants in each year from 1952 to 1961, and the total amount allotted to all local authorities in each of these years.

Mr. Boland

As the reply is in the form of a tabular statement, it is proposed, with your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, to circulate it with the Official Report.

Following is the statement:—
