asked the Minister for Local Government the date of application by Limerick County Council for the sale of Knockbrack and Ballinlena quarries to a private concern; and if he will come to a decision on the matter in the near future.

The proposal referred to by the Deputy was received in my Department on 21st March, 1966, and is at present under consideration. A decision on the matter will be issued as soon as possible.
Can the Minister give me any reasonable date when a decision will be arrived at? The employment of the men in these two quarries has been in suspense since March. I suggest the Minister accept the recommendation of Limerick County Council in the matter.
The Deputy's suggestion is duly noted and I hope to have a decision in the next couple of weeks.
