asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce when it is proposed to extend rural electrification to the Stradone area, County Cavan.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Rural Electrification.
I am informed by the E.S.B. that the Stradone area, County Cavan, has been considered for development by the board on a number of occasions but has not so far been selected as the returns for the area have not compared favourably with those for other areas still awaiting development in the Dundalk district. The area will be reconsidered by the board in due course and the decision of the board will depend on how the returns for the area then compare with those for other areas still awaiting development in the Dundalk district.
