The River Lee, Tralee, is No. 19 on the priority list of minor catchments on which the arterial drainage programme has been proceeding. I would refer the Deputy to the statement which I made to the Dáil in connection with arterial drainage policy on 17th November, 1971, when introducing the Vote for Public Works and Buildings for the current financial year.
The results of the cost/benefit study which is being undertaken in connection with arterial drainage are awaited.
