asked the Minister for Local Government and Public Health whether he is aware that the Rathdown Rural District Council placed a contract for the laying of mains for the supply of Vartry water in Greystones District early in August, 1924; and whether, as the work has not yet commenced, he will take the matter up with the Council with a view to having the contract carried out and thus relieve unemployment in the district.
CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS. ORAL ANSWERS. - GREYSTONES DISTRICT WATER SUPPLY.
A tender for the laying of new water mains at Greystones was accepted by the Rathdown No. 2 Rural District Council in July last. The Council were authorised to borrow the moneys necessary for the carrying out of the work. I am not aware of the cause of the delay in starting the work, but I will take the matter up with the Council and notify the Deputy later of the result.
