Vol. 357 No. 2

Written Answers. - County Dublin Road Construction.

518.

asked the Minister for the Environment the present position regarding the construction of a small section of the proposed Newlands/Fonthill Road of about six hundred yards length, leading from Boot Road to the Camac River, the construction of which would considerably relieve the traffic congestion problems in Clondalkin Village, County Dublin; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Dublin County Council have been advised that there is no immediate prospect of specific road grants being made available for the construction of a new road from Fonthill to Newlands or for the construction of sections of such a road. It would be a matter for the council, as road authority, to plan, execute and finance any such works as they consider necessary. I am advised that substantial relief will be afforded to the Clondalkin area with the construction of the Naas Road/Galway Road section of the Dublin Ring Road, in respect of which road grant commitments totalling £1.7 millions have already been notified to the council.
