asked the Minister for Local Government if he will expedite the payment of an amenity grant to the Kanturk Development Association for the provision of a town park.

As has been conveyed to the association, an amenity grant will be allocated to this project on receipt of a satisfactory reply to a request for information which was addressed to the association last November.

The officers of this association are under the impression that they gave all the necessary information. As a matter of fact, the wording of the question is slightly wrong. A grant has already been paid for the purchase of the park and it is now a matter of a grant for development. They were under the impression that they had given all the information necessary.

A letter was addressed to the solicitor acting on behalf of the association on 14th February telling them that we had not yet received all the necessary information.
