asked the Minister for Local Government if he is aware of the urgent necessity for car parks in towns in rural Ireland; and, if so, if he will make money available for them.
I am aware that in some towns a need exists for the provision of off-street car parking facilities. All the local authorities concerned have been advised that allocations towards the cost of suitable schemes may be made from the annual Road Fund grants available to them.
