andMr. Blaney asked the Minister for Local Government if he is prepared to allocate a grant towards the construction of the community centre at Quigley's Point, County Donegal.

There are no funds available to me from which I could allocate such a grant. Local authorities are, however, empowered to assist projects of this nature.

Does that mean that the amenity grants which were suspended at the end of 1974 have been revised?

No, local authorities always had, and still have, the right to make available money from the local authority funds, not State funds.

Are there any specific amenity grants?

No.
