asked the Minister for Finance if he is aware of the grave dissatisfaction which exists among a number of landowners in Ennismore, Listowel, County Kerry, because of the failure of the Office of Public Works to have a new roadway constructed to replace that on the bank of the River Feale at Ennismore which was covered by spoil during the course of operations on the Feale Drainage Scheme; and if he proposes to take any action in the matter.

A new roadway has, in fact, been constructed under the Feale Drainage Scheme in replacement of the roadway referred to in the question. I am advised that it is at least as good as the roadway which it has replaced.
