asked the Minister for Finance the plans the Office of Public Works have for the completion of drainage work at Wooddown, The Downs, Mullingar, in the lands owned by persons (details supplied) in County Westmeath.

It has not been possible to identify the river referred to in the time available but the matter is being investigated. The Deputy will be informed of the outcome in due course. I might mention that all the construction works scheduled for execution under the Boyne catchment drainage scheme for this area have been completed.
