Vol. 473 No. 4
208 Mr. Ellis asked the Minister for Arts, Culture and the Gaeltacht if his Department will pay compensation due to Leitrim County Council in respect of roads, numbers 379, 379A and 379B, in County Leitrim, which were damaged during works being carried out by the Office of Public Works in the area. [25285/96]
The waterways service of my Department does not accept that all the alleged damage to the local roads was caused solely by it while works were being carried out on the Lough Allen Canal. Agreement was reached with Leitrim County Council some months ago to repair a specific section of roadway. When the council confirms that the works have been carried out, payment will be made.
