I have notice from Senator Joachim Loughrey that, on the motion for the Adjournment of the House today, he proposes to raise the following matter:
The Minister for the Environment's proposals in the immediate future to co-ordinate and direct the implementation of road development programmes in County Donegal arising from his Department's recent report Policy and Planning Framework for Roads.
I regard the matter as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment and it will be taken from 8 p.m. to 8.30 p.m. or earlier if the business ordered is concluded.
In allowing this matter, I direct the attention of the Senator to the fact that the maintenance of roads is a matter for local authorities and not the Minister and may not be raised on the Adjournment this evening.
