asked the Minister for the Environment if he has received a proposal from Dublin Corporation in relation to the reroofing of an estate (details supplied) in Dublin 13.

Comment on this

I propose to take Questions Nos. 2 and 3 together. The question of remedying any defects in this estate is primarily a matter for settlement between the residents and Dublin Corporation. I am, however, considering a proposal from the corporation which arose out of their discussions with the residents regarding the funding of such work and I hope to make a decision on the matter in the near future.

Is the Minister aware that the roofs are deteriorating rapidly? Would the Minister be in a position to meet the residents in the next fortnight or three weeks to discuss the proposal with them?

The Deputy and the House will appreciate that I have heavy commitments here this week and that it appears from the way the debates are moving on the Bills before us that I will be here for some weeks to come. The Deputy knows that I am always very receptive in relation to deputations when requests are addressed to me in the normal way.
