Vol. 417 No. 6
35 Mr. D. Ahern asked the Minister for the Environment if he will consider the provision of Borough status for the Dundalk Urban District Council in view of the fact that it is one of the largest urban district councils in the country; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
19 Mr. D. Ahern asked the Minister for the Environment if he will allay the fears of people in Drogheda, County Louth, by confirming that it is not planned to withdraw borough status from Drogheda Corporation and that if anything happens in the future in local government reform Drogheda may very well find its position enhanced; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
I propose to take Questions Nos. 35 and 139 together.
Proposals for changes in the status, structure or area of any borough, urban district or town are matters which must be considered in the context of the review of sub-county local government which is currently being carried out.
