Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Drainage of Addrigoole River (Mayo).
The Addrigoole River is situate in the Moy catchment area, for which a scheme under the Arterial Drainage Act, 1945 is at present being prepared by the Commissioners of Public Works. It is hoped that the scheme can be put on exhibition within the next few months. Pending exhibition of the scheme and compliance with the other requirements of the Act, it is not possible to state when actual works can be commenced in the catchment, or how soon thereafter the drainage operations would reach the Addrigoole River.
