asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce whether he is aware of the delay in carrying through the rural electrification scheme at Milltown, County Kerry; and, if so, if he will make a statement in the matter.

The selection of areas for development under the rural electrification scheme and the determination of their order of priority are matters for the E.S.B. I have been informed by the board that the Milltownarea has not so far been selected for development as its returns did not compare favourably with those of other areas still awaiting development in the board's Tralee district. The area will be considered again in due course but I am not in a position to state when development is likely to take place.
