I propose, with your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, to take Questions Nos. 34 and 35 together.
Regarding the allocations for 1966-67 I would refer the Deputy to my reply of 20th June, 1967. The allocations for 1967-68 and those for 1968-69, in so far as they are available, are in the form of a tabular statement which, again with your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, I propose to circulate with the Official Report.
The balance in the Road Fund on 31st March, 1968, was £41,497 2s 8d; the figure for 31st March, 1969, is of course, not yet available.
Following is the statement:
