Mr. T. Fitzpatrick, T.D.
26 Farnham Street,
Cavan.
20th May, 1970
Dear Sir,
I have been asked by Mr. Robert Molloy,
Minister for Local Government, to refer to the
reply given on 17th February, 1970
to your
Parliamentary Question relating to the processing
of malicious injury claims by Dublin Corporation
and to state that enquiries have been made with
the local authority in the matter. They have now
indicated that since last October resulting from
steps taken by the Law Agent in consultation with
the Chief Quantity Surveyor the number of cases
dealt with each fortnight has been doubled from
80 to 160 cases. This has necessitated the employ
ment of additional staff and the working of over
time.
The matter is being kept under regular
review and the Law Agent feels that it may be
possible to raise the figure per fortnight to 200
cases. He is endeavouring to operate this increased
figure from the beginning of the Trinity Sittings
i.e. 26th May.
Yours faithfully,
J. LEN1HAN,
Private Secretary to the Minister.
