Vol. 293 No. 10

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Road Grants.

12.

asked the Minister for Local Government the total amounts of road grants allocated to each county council and county borough corporation and the total rate in the £ for roads in each county council and county borough corporation area for each of the years ended 31st March, 1973, 31st December, 1974 and 31st December, 1975.

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

Following is the statement:

Year ended 31st March, 1973

Transitional period ended 31st December, 1974 (9 months)

Year ended 31st December, 1975

Would the Minister say whether it is clear from the tabular statement he proposes to circulate that the rate in the £ for many councils in respect of roads is increasing annually in relation to the road grants being made available by his Department?

I think the Deputy had better wait until he gets the report.

Is it not clear from the circulated reply?

There are a lot of figures. The question the Deputy asked is a very complicated one. I am afraid he will have to wait until he gets it. Of course he can put down a question again next week.
