Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Dublin Corporation Grants.
I assume that the Deputy is referring to works which are financed by means of grants out of the Employment and Emergency Schemes Vote, and in my reply I propose to give such particulars. As this reply is in the form of a tabular statement I propose with your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, to circulate it with the Official Report.
