asked the Minister for Local Government and Public Health whether he has received a proposal from the County Managers of Counties Carlow and Kildare for an increase in the rate of wages paid to road workers; whether the proposal has been considered; and, if so, whether he is prepared to sanction the increase recommended by the county managers.
