asked the Minister for Education whether he has authorised An Chomhairle le Leas Óige to extend its activities outside the Dublin city boundary in conjunction with the County Dublin Vocational Education Committee and in the Borough of Dún Laoghaire; and whether the appropriate grant will be increased to meet the cost of these additional activities which are confined to Dublin city at present.

I have authorised An Chomhairle le Leas Óige to make assistance available to clubs operating in the areas immediately outside the Dublin Borough Area—i.e. Borough of Dún Laoghaire and County Dublin— in conjunction with the County Dublin and Dún Laoghaire Vocational Education Committees. This authorisation was conveyed on the clear understanding that the extension of the area of activity would not be a basis for seeking an increased State grant. In the circumstances, I am unable to make an increased grant available to An Chomhairle as a result of this development.
