Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Belmullet Sewerage Scheme.
The original scheme for a water supply for Belmullet could not be carried out owing to difficulties in procuring materials during the emergency. This scheme has since it was first made been improved in a number of details, in particular by an increase in the storage to be provided. The contract documents are at present being revised by the local authority. A sewerage scheme cannot be undertaken until a piped water supply is available.
