asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce if he will state when the E.S.B. propose to extend the rural electrification scheme to Derrymullen, Robertstown, County Kildare.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Rural Electrification in Kildare.
I am informed by the E.S.B. that Derrymullen is situated in the Allen rural area to which supply has been extended for some years past under the rural electrification scheme. The board state that when this area was being connected, the householders in the Derrymullen district refused to accept supply. They have now applied for connection and they will be notified shortly by the board of the charges involved. If the charges quoted are acceptable to the householders, the board expect to be in a position to extend supply within 12 months.
