Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Aerial Survey of Ireland.
8.
I am informed by the Director of Ordnance Survey that he does not propose now or in the immediate future to carry out a comprehensive aerial survey of Ireland.
During 1966 it is his intention to introduce surveying from aerial photographs for mapping at a large scale the urban area of Dublin.
One air survey plotting machine costing about £10,000 will be ordered for this work. Four projectors costing about £600 each will in addition be purchased.
New personnel have not been recruited.
