asked the Minister for Finance if he is aware that a number of farmers in South Kerry have made applications under the rural improvements scheme in the year 1944, and that the majority of these applications have not yet been investigated by his Department; and, if so, if he will take steps to have consideration of these applications expedited.

The remainder are being attended to as quickly as possible and the applicants will in all cases be notified without avoidable delay of the decisions taken.
