River Lee drainage
The Lee catchment has been surveyed, but its low priority—No. 19 among minor schemes—means the Minister cannot indicate when drainage work will begin.
asked the Minister for Finance if he will give the up-to-date position in relation to the dredging of the River Lee.

An engineering survey of the Lee (Tralee) Catchment Area has been carried out with a view to formulating a comprehensive drainage scheme under the Arterial Drainage Act, 1945. However, I cannot say when works might be commenced.

As this area is badly in need of drainage, could the Minister give some indication of when dredging of the River Lee will start?
Comment on this
The River Lee is No. 19 on the priority list of minor catchments to be considered for treatment under the Arterial Drainage Act, 1945. The River Bonet, which is No. 8, is the last minor scheme which has commenced. A survey has been carried out, but in view of its low priority on the list I could not give any indication of when work will start.
