asked the Minister for Local Government if he will state whether sanction has been given for the commencing of work on water schemes for (a) Glandore, Union Hall; (b) Roscarbery; (c) Ballinamore, and (d) Bantry.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - West Cork Water Schemes.
The acceptance of a tender for a water supply scheme to serve Leap, Glandore and Union Hall was approved in 1950 but the contract was not signed. In 1951, a new proposal to include Roscarbery was submitted and approved. Last November the western committee of the Cork County Council considered further variations in the scheme on the basis of a separate scheme for Roscarbery but did not reach a final decision.
I presume that the Deputy's reference to Ballinamore should read Baltimore. Approval has been given to the preparation of contract documents for a scheme based on an experimental bore-hole supply.
Final documents for an improvement scheme for Bantry have been approved and the acceptance of a tender has been sanctioned.
