I am satisfied that the local authorities in question are discharging their responsibilities as regards the control of roadside advertising as effectively as possible under existing planning legislation. Their powers of dealing with this problem and, in particular, with the problem of the large number of unauthorised advertisement hoardings which have been erected over the years, will be greatly strengthened by the Local Government (Planning and Development) Act, 1963.
