Enda Kenny
Question:169 Mr. E. Kenny asked the Minister for the Environment if his attention has been drawn to the fact that local authority outdoor staff are not paid expenses in respect of travelling to work whereas other grades of local authority employees are paid an allowance in respect of travelling between five and ten miles and an increased allowance in respect of travelling in excess of ten miles; his views on whether this is reasonable; the proposals, if any, he has to provide some allowance for outdoor working staff who have to travel in excess of five miles to work; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
