Mr. J. Flynn: Information on John Flynn  Zoom on John Flynn  asked the Minister for Local Government whether he is aware that the Kerry County Council unanimously agreed to increase road workers' wages by 15/- per week; and, [1620] if so, if he will explain his Department's delay in sanctioning the proposal.

Mr. O'Donnell: Information on Patrick O'Donnell  Zoom on Patrick O'Donnell  I am aware of the resolution of the Kerry County Council referred to by the Deputy. The resolution does not, however, constitute a proposal on which a decision can be given.

Mr. J. Flynn: Information on John Flynn  Zoom on John Flynn  Can the Minister say whether his Department will now take action in the matter or send it back to the county council? This proposal was unanimously agreed to by the county council.

Mr. O'Donnell: Information on Patrick O'Donnell  Zoom on Patrick O'Donnell  There was no proposal. There was a resolution. The Deputy can see the distinction between a resolution and a proposal. Until the Minister receives a proposal, the resolution means nothing.

Mr. J. Flynn: Information on John Flynn  Zoom on John Flynn  Will the Minister indicate whether the proposal must come from the county manager or the Kerry County Council?

Mr. O'Donnell: Information on Patrick O'Donnell  Zoom on Patrick O'Donnell  I have received nothing other than a resolution from the Kerry County Council.
