Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Repair of Offaly Lane.
12.
An application has been received for the repair of the road referred to. It was inspected on 21st January, 1965. The estimate for repairing 205 perches of road as far as Michael Hyland's house, with a gravel surface, to its existing width is £548, for which the local contribution is £164. There is an alternative estimate of £599, for which the local contribution is £180, for tar surfacing the first 63 perches and gravel surfacing the remainder. The question of the road being declared a public road, on completion of the repairs, is a matter for Offaly County Council.
Question No. 13.
I do not think I have the reply to No. 13.
We will hold it over.
Mr. O'Leary
Shall I repeat the question next week? Does the Parliamentary Secretary think he will have found the answer by then?
Question No. 13 postponed.
