asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce whether he is prepared to request the Electricity Supply Board to consider the advisability of erecting a generating station designed to use native coal deposits from the Arigna district.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Electricity Generation from Arigna Coal.
At my request, the Electricity Supply Board have for some time past been considering the matter to which the Deputy refers.
Is there any possibility that a decision will be arrived at in this matter in the near future in view of the necessity for developing that locality?
The necessity for developing the locality does not make the problem any easier for the Electricity Supply Board.
There is no use in their falling down on it.
