asked the Minister for Finance when it is intended to commence the proposed repairs to Graughill slip, County Mayo.

A grant was sanctioned last year for the improvement of the landing facilities at Graughill, County Mayo. The grant was subject to the usual conditions applying in such cases, viz., that theMayo County Council pay one-quarter of the cost of the work and undertake responsibility for future maintenance.

The council's decision in the matter is awaited.
