asked the Minister for Finance whether, further to his statement of 9th July, 1963, that he expected to be in a position to announce a decision with regard to the Assaly River, Killinick, County Wexford, within the following three weeks, he will now state the present position with regard to the drainage of this river.
Ceisteanna — Questions. Oral Answers. - Drainage of County Wexford River.

I am sorry to have to inform the Deputy that the engineers of the Office of Public Works have not so far been able to devise a satisfactory drainage scheme for the Assaly River within economic limits of cost. I am having a final look at the position.
Would the Parliamentary Secretary be able to say when he might be able to announce a final decision?
I could announce it this minute but it would be bad. I promised I would make an announcement last July. I did not promise it would be done.
