asked the Taoiseach if he will state what steps it is proposed to take to have a permanent Griffith-Collins-O'Higgins Memorial erected in a suitable position on Leinster Lawn.

A permanent memorial to the late Messrs. Griffith, Collins and O'Higgins will be erected at the earliest possible date on the site of the former temporary cenotaph on Leinster Lawn. It is hoped that a design of the proposed permanent memorial will be ready in a few weeks' time.
