asked the Minister for Local Government whether he is aware of the necessity for steamrolling the road through the Glen, Ballinskelligs, County Kerry, and if he will allocate a special grant under the scheme for road works in the Fíor-Ghaeltacht areas for the purpose.

The work referred to by the Deputy might be undertaken by the Kerry County Council either as part of its programme under the annual county road improvement grant from the Road Fund or with the aid of a grant under the scheme for road works in Fíor-Ghaeltacht areas. The Deputy's representations will be borne in mind in connections with proposals for expenditure under either head in the forthcoming financial year.
