asked the Minister for Local Government if he is aware of the great inconvenience experienced by residents in the Drumcondra North area because the proposed connection between Collins Avenue and Ballymun Avenue has not been constructed; and if he will state why this work was not carried out, and if there is a possibility that it will be carried out in the near future.

asked the Minister for Local Government if he is aware of the appalling condition of the temporary link road between Shantalla Road and Brookville at Santry, and if it is proposed to have it repaired.

With your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, I propose to take Questions Nos. 22 and 23 together.

I have no information on these matters and the Dublin Corporation has submitted no proposals to my Department regarding them.
