The details asked for are set out in a tabular statement which, again with your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, I propose to circulate in the Official Report.
In the change over to the new scheme of grants to be administered by the county councils all outstanding applications for contributory grants under the rural improvements scheme will be passed to the county councils for consideration.
