asked the Minister for Local Government and Public Health whether he will state when he will be in the position to notify to county councils the amounts allocated from the Road Fund for the financial year 1929-30; whether he is aware that there is a general desire by county councils for an early notification of the allocation of such fund.
CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS. ORAL ANSWERS. - ALLOCATION OF ROAD FUND.
Mr. BRODRICK
County councils were asked on the 2nd October to furnish provisional estimates of cost of upkeep of roads for 1929-30. I am still awaiting replies from thirteen councils and more complete details from others. I cannot, therefore, say at the moment when I will be in a position to notify the amounts of grants.
