Corrib-Mask-Robe drainage scheme

Summary

Expenditure had reached about £12.4 million by March 1983, with total costs estimated at £19 million. The scheme was on schedule for completion in 1984, and the Minister said funding was sufficient and denied any direction to cut back the works.

Denis Gallagher Mr. D. Gallagher Fianna Fáil

asked the Minister for Finance the expenditure to date on the Robe-Mask drainage scheme, County Mayo; and when it is proposed to have the drainage works completed.

Was it by tender or contract?

Can the Minister guarantee that the scheme, as prepared, will be completed and that all the necessary funds will be made available to complete the job?

Comment on this

It is estimated that the total expenditure on the scheme will be £19 million. It is on schedule. The expenditure for the past three years has been somewhat similar. There is sufficient money to keep it going full steam in this year's Estimates. My information is that it will be finished in 1984.

Is there any truth in the suggestion that a direction has been given to cut back on the schedule of works attached to the Mask-Robe drainage scheme?

Comment on this

No, none whatever.
