As I informed the Deputy in my reply to Question No. 24 on 12th February, 1969, the provision of an adequate source of water is the main obstacle to the implementation of this scheme. Since then the county council have indicated that they are not prepared to give an extension of the public supply at Glenamaddy. I am having the matter taken up with the local authority again.

asked the Minister for Local Government the position regarding the proposed group water scheme at Milltown, County Galway.
Galway County Council has agreed in principle to this proposal and the group have been asked to establish definitely the number of participants with a view to having a design prepared. An initial contribution of £10 per house has been collected, and when the design is available and costings prepared, the final contribution to be made by each participant will be determined. A pressure scheme is proposed using a natural spring source. This was tested by the county council and found adequate.
