Edward Nealon
Question:88 Mr. Nealon asked the Minister for Finance if, in view of the fact that all studies in connection with the Owenmore and Arrow Arterial Drainage Scheme, County Sligo, have been completed for some time, that all follow up studies on the cost/benefit analysis have been completed and that no further studies are planned, it has been decided to proceed with the arterial drainage of the catchment area in whole or in part or in a total or modified form; if not, if a final decision has been taken not to proceed with the arterial drainage of the catchment area in whole or in part or in a total or modified form; and if he will make a statement on the matter which will remove uncertainty and enable the farmers of the area to make realistic plans for the future.
