asked the Minister for Local Government if he will expedite the commencement of work on the Bohillane group water scheme, Ladysbridge, County Cork.

The design for this scheme serving 14 houses in the Bohillane and Rathcallan areas, Ladysbridge, has been approved both by my Department and Cork County Council. The group were advised in September, 1976, to seek quotations for the necessary materials and the carrying out of work. The submission of these quotations is awaited in my Department.
