asked the Minister for Local Government and Public Health if he will state what is the present position in regard to the building of protection works by way of a sea wall to protect the abbey and graveyard at Ballinskelligs, Co. Kerry; whether plans have been drawn up for this work; and, if so, if he will have the matter expedited, and what is the earliest date at which it is hoped that the work will be commenced.

On the 20th September last a communication was issued by my Department to the Kerry Board of Health, suggesting certain revisions of the outline proposals submitted by them for the improvement and protection of the Abbey Burial Ground, Ballinskelligs. The observations of the board's engineer on the Department's suggestions were received on the 24th ultimo. More detailed documents relating to the scheme will be necessary before the work can be finally approved. The board of health will be sent a further communication at an early date.
