I am not aware of any dispute regarding the abstraction of water at Leixlip for the North Dublin regional water supply scheme. A legal difficulty arose in regard to the power of the Electricity Supply Board to grant Dublin County Council the right to abstract water. Legislative proposals to overcome this difficulty are in course of preparation.
