‹ Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Dundalk and Monaghan Unemployed. Employment grants for County Louth
Summary
Bell asked that Louth receive the same grant facilities as other Border counties; the Chair ruled the request outside the Minister of State’s remit.
I do not want to give the wrong impression and we in the Border area agree that unemployment is high in Monaghan. However, in view of the substantial numbers unemployed in the Louth area, with particular reference to north Louth, would the Minister use his good offices in arranging for the same facilities to apply to the level of grants for County Louth as to other Border counties and to investigate this matter?
