asked the Minister for Local Government what powers the City Commissioner in Dublin has to appoint persons to subsidiary bodies or to hospital boards or similar organisations to which Dublin Corporation used to appoint representatives; in particular, whether his powers include a right to nominate persons to the new Eastern Regional Health Board; and if he has not any such power by whom the appointments to the Eastern Regional Health Board may be made and the statutory authority for making such appointments.

I would refer the Deputy to the provisions of section 52 of the Local Government Act, 1941. It will be for the Minister for Local Government to make such provision as he considers necessary or expedient for representation by the Dublin Corporation on the proposed Eastern Health Board.
