asked the Minister for Local Government what is the position with regard to the installation of water supply in the village of Toomevara, Nenagh, County Tipperary.

A scheme to provide a water supply for Toomevara has been approved by my Department for some time but difficulties arose in regard to the acquisition of the necessary water rights.

A proposal to acquire these rights compulsorily is before my Department at present and a decision thereon will be issued shortly.
