asked the Minister for Local Government whether he has received proposals, under the National Development Fund programme, from the Cork County Council for the protection from erosion and flooding of the land from Warren, Ballymacoda to Jarryvoe, Shanagary and Ballycotton, and, if so, if he will state (1) when the proposals were received, (2) if the proposed scheme has been inspected and, if so, by what Department, and (3) whether a decision has been reached and, if so, its nature.

Certain coast protection works in the area referred to were included by Cork County Council in the list of schemes submitted by them for consideration in connection with the National Development Fund. The list was received in April, 1954. No details of the proposed works were furnished, and the question of inspection did not arise. The general question of making grants available from the fund for works of coast protection is being considered, and, pending the outcome, a decision in regard to the particular works referred to has been deferred.
