asked the Minister for Local Government if he received a resolution from Cork County Council some months ago regarding the increase in members' travelling expenses; and what decision he has come to in the matter.

I have received a copy of the resolution in question and I am having it examined in conjunction with resolutions on the matter received from other local authorities.

Having fixed up the allowances of Ministers, Deputies and Senators, would the Minister not now consider doing something for members of local authorities?

That has nothing to do with the question.

It is about time the Minister did something to look after the members of local authorities who are doing the work.

It is being considered.
