QUESTION NO.3

QUESTION: Councillor J. Sinnott

To ask the chief executive to advise what the total cost of installing a salt bin is and whether the Local Priorities Fund could be used to purchase additional bins?

The cost to install a salt bin is less than €1000 but road maintenance cannot commit to stocking any additional bins during the season.
