asked the Minister for Local Government and Public Health if he is aware that under Section 101, sub-section (2), of the Local Government (Dublin) Act, 1930, which became law on July 17th, 1930, it is made obligatory that the first appointment of a tribunal (to report on the boundaries and joint public health services in Dublin) shall be made within five years from the passing of this Act; and, if so, if he will state what steps he has taken to implement this and his other statutory obligations under that section.

In accordance with Section 101, sub-section (2), of the Local Government (Dublin) Act, 1930, I have appointed the following tribunal to report on the boundaries and joint public health services of Dublin:— Chairman: Mr. George Gavan Duffy, S.C. Members: Mr. T.C. Courtney, Chief Engineering Adviser to the Department of Local Government and Public Health; Mr. R.J. Baker, Inspector of Audits, Department of Local Government and Public Health.

Does the Minister consider adding something to that tribunal?

I have considered the matter, and I have decided on this tribunal.
