asked the Minister for Local Government if he is aware that the main roads and by-roads in the Clontarf area from the North Strand and the main road from Drumcondra to Larkhill are sub-standard; and, if so, when repairs will be carried out to these roads.

I am aware that certain public roads in the area in question, in common with other areas in the city and elsewhere, are not up to modern standards. Work on their repair and improvement proceeds under the resources available, including Road Fund and other State grants as well as local funds.
The initiation of road improvement schemes in the area referred to is a matter for the Dublin Corporation. I have recently sanctioned the acceptance by the Corporation of tenders for works of improvement on the following roads:
Annesley Bridge Road, Philipsburgh Avenue, Amiens Street and North Strand, Malahide Road, Howth Road and Fitzgibbon Street.
Schemes for road works in the area, which are in course of formulation include the improvement of East Wall Road, Swords Road, Collins Avenue, Clanhugh Road and a new road between Furry Park and Vernon Avenue.
