Vol. 238 No. 8

Ceisteanna—Questions Oral Answers. - County Wexford Rural Electrification.

9.

asked the Minister for Transport and Power if, in view of the great need for electricity supply in the Gusserane area, New Ross, County Wexford, he will request the ESB to have a rural electrification scheme prepared for this area as soon as possible.

I am informed by the Electricity Supply Board that the area in question is in the Board's Foulksmills rural area where canvassing under the rural electrification post-development scheme is in progress at present. It is hoped that construction work will commence in about six to nine months time and that supply will then be made available to all applicants who accept the terms quoted and have their premises wired.

In time for next winter?

Some winter anyway.
