asked the Minister for Local Government what progress has been made towards relieving the hardships of the people of Kellystown, County Dublin, by providing a proper passageway over the existing right of way from Ticknock to Grange; and when the work is likely to be started.

If the hardship in question can be relieved by official action it would be for the Dublin County Council to consider whether such action should be taken. I have received no proposals in the matter from the county council.
