asked the Minister for Agriculture whether it is proposed to reclaim Poulnasherry Bay, West Clare, under the land rehabilitation project or under any other scheme.

The area referred to by the Deputy is an estuarine marshland problem which, due to the exigencies of the work under earlier heads of the land project, it has not up to the present been possible to reach. When progress of the work allows the method for dealing with problems of estuarine marshes including Poulnasherry Bay will be examined.
