asked the Minister for Local Government if he will state if it is proposed to erect parish halls in various towns in County Dublin; and if so, if he will state the names of the towns in County Dublin where it is proposed to erect halls; if sites have yet been acquired; if plans have been prepared; and when it is expected that the work of erection of these halls will be started.

I understand that a proposal for the provision of halls in County Dublin as part of a scheme for the extension of the library service is under consideration, but the towns at which the proposed developments will take place have not yet been determined.
