Vol. 244 No. 2

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Winter Sand Spreading Facilities.

92.

asked the Minister for Local Government if he will arrange with local authorities to have in future each winter ample supplies of sand ready for spreading on main roads, town roads and highways in the event of severe frost and snow so that the roads may be made less dangerous.

The emergency procedures, including sanding, to be adopted, to make roads safe for traffic in the conditions referred to are matters for decision by each road authority. I have reminded them annually of their responsibilities in this matter.
