Question:

101 Mrs. T. Ahearn asked the Minister for the Environment the finance given by his Department to the National Safety Council, water safety section; if he will increase this allocation; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [3924/95]

Minister for the Environment (Mr. Howlin)

A grant of £550,000 is provided for in my Department's Estimates for 1995 towards the administration and general expenses of the National Safety Council. The allocation of the annual grant among its various services is a matter for the council.
