asked the Minister for Finance if any recommendations have been made to his Department regarding the River Suck arising out of the survey carried out recently as a result of the Rydell Report on the Shannon flood problem.

The engineering report on the preliminary investigation recommended by Rydell for the Shannon and its tributaries, including the River Suck, is expected to be available shortly. It will then be considered as quickly as possible.

Will the appearance of that report coincide with the announcement of the date of the general election?

That question was asked last week.

I am sorry.

Was it answered last week?
