I have no official information on the matters referred to in the Deputy's Question apart from what I conveyed to him in reply to a question by him on the same subject in November last. The circumstances surrounding the erection of a tar-mixing depot at Castlebar and subsequent developments will be subject to review by the Local Government auditor in due course in his audit of the accounts of the Mayo County Council and in the meantime I do not wish to prejudice the issues involved.
