asked the Minister for Finance whether proposals or requests have been submitted to him for the improvement of an accommodation and bog road at Kinnackinella, Dunmore, County Galway; and, if so, if he willindicate what steps he intends to take in the matter.

I assume that the Deputy is referring to a proposal for the repair of an accommodation and bog road in the townland of Kinnackinella, leading from the county road near Mrs. McManus's house south-east to Luke Ronans's bog, with a branch to John Glynn's bog. The limited quantity of turf produced on these bogs would not justify a full-cost grant for the repair of the approach road, but if the interested parties will submit the case for consideration under the rural improvements scheme, which requires a contribution from the beneficiaries, the matter will receive due consideration.
