asked the Minister for Local Government the position regarding the Oulagh-Cromane-Caragh Lake water scheme, County Kerry; and the reason for the delay in implementing this scheme.

A decision on Kerry County Council's proposals for the laying of a new watermain from Oulagh to Glounaguillagh Cross, which would serve the Caragh Lake and Cromane group water scheme, must await the outcome of the review of water and sewerage schemes which is at present being carried out by sanitary authorities generally throughout the country.
