asked the Minister for Local Government if he will list the water and sewerage schemes which were submitted to his Department by Meath County Council over the last two years, giving in respect of each scheme (a) the date of application, (b) the date of sanction, (c) the cost where available and (d) the cause of delay in sanctioning it.

Following is the information requested:

There has been no avoidable delay in dealing with the proposals which were submitted for these schemes.

Before the Order of Business, I would like to give notice that I consider the reply to Question No. 35 so unsatisfactory that I should like an opportunity of raising it on the Adjournment.

The Chair will communicate with the Deputy.
