asked the Minister for Finance when he will be in a position to indicate the arterial drainage schemes which will be started in 1957.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Arterial Drainage Schemes.
The question of the provision to be made for arterial drainage construction works in the Estimate for Public Works and Buildings for the year 1957-58 is at present under examination. Pending a decision in this matter I will not be in a position to indicate the schemes which will be started in 1957. The Deputy is aware, of course, that there are certain statutory steps which must be taken before work on a scheme under the Arterial Drainage Act, 1945 can be started.
