asked the Minister for Finance if he has been requested by the tenants on the Wilson Fitzgerald estate, Drumnevin, Kilfenora, County Clare, to have an accommodation road repaired which would assist them in tillage and general farming business and if he is now prepared to have such work done.

An application was received for a grant from the Employment Schemes Vote for the work referred to. The scheme was duly examined and, like all other eligible proposals, has been recorded for consideration on its merits in connection with each employment schemes programme in the light of the unemployment position at the time.
