Willie Penrose

Ceist:

137 Mr. Penrose asked the Minister for Finance the steps, if any, he will take by means of an inter-Departmental Committee representing the Departments of Finance, Enterprise and Employment and Environment to examine the potential of local authorities in relation to the creation of employment and to consider the granting of approximately £1 million per annum to each local authority, such sum to be specifically allocated for the employment of general operatives and outdoor staff in view of the amount of such work which needs to be carried out in each local authority throughout the country; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [293/94]

There are no plans to establish the type of committee suggested by the Deputy. The financing of local authorities, their staffing levels and the work which they might undertake are matters for the Minister for the Environment in the first instance.
