Ceist:

177 Mr. Shatter asked the Minister for the Environment the additional financial resources which are to be made available to Dublin Corporation and to Dublin County Council so that they can recruit the additional staff required to enforce the ban on the marketing, sale and distribution of bituminous coal that will become operative on 1 September 1990.

Minister for the Environment (Mr. Flynn)
