The Commissioners of Public Works could undertake the draining of the River Gueestin only as part of a comprehensive scheme under the Arterial Drainage Act, 1945, for the Laune catchment area in which it is situated.
Owing to existing commitments and the extent of the drainage problem throughout the country it will be several years before the Laune can be reached in the drainage programme.
