asked the Minister for Finance if he will have drainage works carried out as soon as possible on Ballyrickard bog. Ardcroney, Nenagh, County Tipperary.

The drainage of Ballyrickard south bog was fully considered in connection with the Nenagh catchment scheme. It was found to be very uneconomic to drain the bog completely, but the scheme did confer some degree of improvement. The scheme has been certified completed by the Minister for Finance and no further additions can now be made.

Question No. 23 potsponed.
