asked the Minister for Finance if he has yet decided how much of the £250,000 for additional work schemes will be allocated to Dublin; and when work on these schemes is likely to commence.

I regret I am not yet in a position to say what the 1957-58 allocation for the Dublin County Borough will be. I hope to come to a decision on this matter at an early date. As the Deputy is aware, there is a substantial carry-forward of uncompleted works at present in operation in the city.

What is the amount of the carry-forward?

£143,000.
