Seamus Brennan

Question:

138 Mr. S. Brennan asked the Minister for the Environment if he will request a speedy report from the public inquiry on the Dundrum by-pass which was held almost 11 weeks ago; his views on whether a speedy report and subsequent decision by him is in the public interest; when he expects the report of the inspector to be presented to him; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4880/97]

Minister for the Environment (Mr. Howlin)

The inspector will report as quickly as possible on the public local inquiry referred to. On receipt of the report, there will be no avoidable delay on my part in making a decision on the matter.
