Applications for full-cost grants for the carrying out of drainage works in the townlands referred to have been received on various occasions for several years past, and inspections duly made; but, as there have not been for many years a sufficient number of men in receipt of unemployment assistance to form an economic gang in the areas in question, it has not been possible to carry out the works as employment schemes.
