Since 1st April, 1967, proposals from county councils to pay the 10th round increase of £1 per week to roadworkers with effect from 1st May, 1966, instead of 1st June, 1966, as previously approved, were sanctioned.
A proposal was received on 27th November, 1967, from Dublin County Council to grant an additional increase of 10/- per week to roadworkers and to introduce a scheme of service pay with effect from 1st July, 1967. This proposal was sanctioned on 11th December.
