asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce when the Electricity Supply Board will extend the rural electrification scheme to the Inniskeen area, County Monaghan.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Rural Electrification—Inniskeen.
I am informed by the Electricity Supply Board that the Inniskeen area has twice been considered for selection by the board. It has not been selected because the ratio of fixed charge revenue to capital cost would not, in the board's view, justify the expenditure involved. I am further informed that the area will again be considered for selection early in the year 1952 but it cannot be indicated at this stage as to whether it will then qualify for development.
