asked the Minister for Lands and Fisheries whether he will state what action has been taken in connection with the offer made on the 18th May, 1928, by his Department to the Mayo County Council, and accepted by that body, regarding the construction of a breakwater, slip and boat-yard at Belderrig, Co. Mayo.

Having regard to the amount involved in the preliminary estimates for this work and to the necessity for economy at the present time, I am having the provisional plans and estimates referred back for re-examination and reconsideration.
