asked the Minister for Local Government whether he is aware of the inadequacy of toilet facilities at seaside resorts in the Dublin area; and whether he will bring to the notice of the local authorities the urgent need for providing more facilities.

I have received no complaints about the general inadequacy of sanitary facilities at seaside resorts in the Dublin area, but the arrangements at certain places have I understand proved insufficient for the abnormally large numbers of people who have recently been attracted to the seaside. I will have the Deputy's representations conveyed to the responsible sanitary authorities for investigation and any necessary action.
