Vol. 171 No. 2

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Rural Electrification in North Kerry.

asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce when it is proposed to extend rural electrification to the Rathea area, North Kerry; and, if no decision has yet been reached, whether, in view of the 75 per cent. successful canvass in the area, he will ask the E.S.B. to have the work begun as early as possible.

I am informed by the E.S.B. that the Rathea rural area has been considered for selection by the board on a number of occasions but has not so far been selected as the returns for the area did not compare favourably with those for other areas awaiting development in the board's Tralee district. The area will be reconsidered by the board in due course and the decision of the board will depend on how the returns then compare with those for other areas awaiting development in the Tralee district.
