asked the Minister for Local Government when he will sanction the loan for the proposed Ballycasheen East sewerage scheme in Killarney, County Kerry; and the present position in the matter.

The question of sanction to a loan to finance this scheme will not arise until a tender for its construction has been accepted. I understand that proposals for acceptance of a tender will shortly be submitted by the local authority.

Questions Nos. 21, 22 and 23 postponed.
