Vol. 239 No. 4

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Tarred and Untarred Roads.

32.

Mr. T.J. Fitzpatrick

(Cavan) and Mr. Reynolds asked the Minister for Local Government if he will state for each county the total mileage of roads that are (a) tarred and (b) untarred.

As the reply is in the form of a tabular statement, I propose, with your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, to circulate it with the Official Report.

Following is the statement:

STATEMENT of the total mileage for each county of roads dust-free and non-dust free.
