asked the Minister for Local Government if he is aware of the repeated flooding on the main road near Ballyheigue, County Kerry over the past few years; and that people moving to and from that district have to make a detour of several miles; and, if so, if he will now consider making a special grant available to raise the road level in order to remove permanently the cause of the flooding there.

As intimated to the Deputy in reply to a previous question on 17th February, 1965, on the subject, it would be primarily a matter for Kerry County Council as road authority to undertake any works on the road referred to. I have received no proposals from the council in the matter. There are no funds at my disposal from which I could make a special grant for such works.
