asked the Minister for Finance if he is aware that a paved ford and stepping stones were removed from the bed of the River Moy, during drainage operations at Cloonoughill, Curry, County Sligo in July, 1968; and that a farmer (name supplied) is now deprived of the rights he formerly held as he is now unable to get to two-thirds of his land which is on the opposite side of the river from his dwelling house; and if he will have a bridge or paved ford and stepping stones installed for this man.

40.

asked the Minister for Finance when the Office of Public Works propose to erect bridges across the Mullaghanoe river in the townland of Cloonoughill, Charles-town, County Sligo.

With your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, I propose to take Questions Nos. 39 and 40 together.

The matter of crossing facilities at Cloonoughill is at present under investigation, and will be disposed of as quickly as possible.
