On the 11th June last the Commissioner for Dublin County Council was informed by my Department that before embarking on plans for the provision of a water supply for the Rush-Lusk area, consultation should take place with the Dublin Corporation to determine the limits within which the corporation system could be extended to supply the northern portion of the County Dublin.
