With the exception of two applications for grants for the extension of water supplies to Mountrath and Mountmellick, for which sums of £100 and £150 were allocated in 1932, the position is substantially the same as given in reply to a question asked by the Deputy on the 28th February last.
In the present year grants of £2,000 each are being allocated to Portlaoighise sewerage and Mountmellick sewerage. There have been no public health works in Offaly proposed so far this year. It is understood that a scheme for providing Banagher with a water supply is under consideration by the board of health.
