asked the Minister for Agriculture (1) the number of applications submitted in the Gort area of County Galway under the EEC western drainage scheme; and (2) the number of applications sanctioned up to 31 December 1980.
Written Answers. - County Galway Drainage.
101.
The total number of applications received (including joint works) is 101. Approved schemes have issued in 38 cases. Of the balance a number had to be deferred for various reasons, for example, necessary permissions of affected parties had not been obtained, lack of adequate outfall and so on. The remainder are in various stages of investigation and approved schemes will issue in due course wherever feasible.
