asked the Minister for Local Government and Public Health whether he is aware that no action has yet been taken to protect the graveyard known as Ballinskelligs Abbey, County Kerry, from the inroads of the sea, with the result that bodies are being constantly washed away by the tide; and whether he will take steps to terminate this neglect of sacred ground.

I would refer the Deputy to my reply of the 10th November last in this matter. Inquiry is being made from the Board of Health as to the action they are taking in regard to it.
