asked the Minister for Local Government if he is aware that at Knockmitten, Clondalkin, where 17 families live, there is not a proper supply of drinking water; and, if so, whether he will direct that the local authority shall at once remedy the position there.

The matter referred to is one for the Dublin County Council to whom I understand the residents in the area have recently made representations. I am informed that the council have decided to extend the public supply to a fountain to be located at the end of Killeen Road.
