Vol. 69 No. 13

Written Answers. - West Cork Roads.

asked the Minister for Finance if he will state what is the position regarding an application from a number of farmers residing at Glandart, Bantry, for the making of a road leading into a bog in the townland of Glandart, and if he is now in a position to state when this work will be proceeded with.

The application referred to has been received, and an inspection has been made. The proposal has not been included in the programme of employment schemes for this winter, for the reason that more suitable employment schemes were available. It will, however, be considered on its merits in connection with any further employment schemes programmes, in competition with any other proposals which may be submitted for the same area, and in the light of the unemployment position at the time.

asked the Minister for Finance if he has received an application from Patrick Hennessy and others, of Bundrameen, Ballineen, County Cork, for the making of a road through the townland of Bundrameen; if this has been visited and reported on by an inspector, and if he is now in a position to state when this work will be proceeded with.

asked the Minister for Finance if he has received an application from Samuel Daly and others, of Lisheencreagh, Ballydehob, County Cork, for the making of a road leading into a bog in the townland of Lisheencreagh, and if he is now in a position to state when this work will be proceeded with.

The application referred to has been received. I am informed that one of the landholders, whose lands or interests would be affected by the work, has objected to its execution. In the event of the objection being withdrawn the proposal will be considered on its merits in connection with any future programme of employment schemes, in competition with any other proposals which may be received for the same area, and in the light of the unemployment position at the time.
