Mr. Kenny
The possibility of restoring the Ballinamore and Ballyconnell Canal, which formerly linked the River Shannon with Upper Lough Erne, is being examined.
Was that idea not mooted well over 12 months ago? Is there any chance we can get progress on it?
It took Fianna Fáil ten years——
It was only mooted in regard to North-South co-operation about a year and a half ago.
Mr. Kenny
There is no mention at all of a time here.
Badly briefed.
