asked the Minister for Local Government if he is aware that 80 people and 100 school children and the animals of the parish are using water from an insanitary hole at Tournafulla, County Limerick; and, if so, if he will state the present position in regard to the provision of a water supply for this village.

The initiation of a water supply scheme for Tournafulla rests with the sanitary authority. No proposals in the matter have been submitted to me.
