Tests which have been carried out this year on behalf of the city medical officer in the vicinity of Sandycove have not in general disclosed evidence of serious pollution. I am asking the city medical officer to arrange as soon as possible to have a further series of tests made in this area with particular reference to the Forty-Foot bathing place. On receipt of the results of these, I shall consider whether it is necessary for me to take further steps in the matter.
