asked the Minister for Local Government if he will state whether he has considered recent representations made to him regarding the need for water supplies to the Malahide Road-Belcamp area, County Dublin, and, if so, with what result.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - County Dublin Water Supplies.
I have taken this matter up with Dublin County Council, the sanitary authority for the area, and I have been informed that the extension of the existing mains to the area in question is not practicable.
asked the Minister for Local Government if he will state what area will be served first by the North County Dublin regional water scheme.
It is not proposed to carry out this scheme in successive stages. Accordingly, when the scheme is installed, the supply will become available for the whole area to be served. Separate investigations are, however, proceeding as to the possibility of piping an advance supply to Blanchardstown.
asked the Minister for Local Government whether he is aware that the tenants of the Cale-cot Cottages, Ballaugh, Lusk, have no water supply for domestic consumption nearer than one mile; and, if so, if he will arrange to have a pump installed near the 11 council cottages concerned.
I have no information regarding this matter; the provision of a pump is a matter for Dublin County Council as sanitary authority for the area.
