asked the Minister for Local Government whether he is aware that the surface of the roadway in North King Street is badly in need of repairs and whether, in view of the ever-increasing volume of traffic on this thoroughfare, he will arrange to have the necessary repairs carried out immediately.

Proposals prepared by the Dublin Corporation for the resurfacing of North King Street were approved by me on 23rd November last. The corporation are at present in consultation with the authorities and undertakers concerned with underground services, preparatory to laying the new street surface.
