Mr. Burke
I understand from Dublin County Council that the cost of extending water and sewerage services to council houses during the past five years was £57,025.

asked the Minister for Local Government if he will give sanction to the Offaly County Council to go ahead with the work of extending the water main from the town supply at Ballyclare, Ferbane, County Offaly, as this is a very urgent matter in so far as the residents of newly-erected houses in the area are concerned; and if the matter will be finalised without delay.
This proposal has been approved.

asked the Minister for Local Government if he is aware that a water supply is urgently needed for five cottages at Coultry, Cloughran, County Dublin; and that the existing supply is only a quarter of a mile away at a cottage (name given) on the Ballymun Road; and if he will urge the council to provide this essential amenity for the families concerned.
I am informed that the cottages are served by a public pump provided by Dublin County Council at the site of the cottages. I understand that the county council consider that it would not be practicable to extend the public water main, which is about threequarters of a mile away, to provide these cottages with a piped supply.
