asked the Minister for Lands whether he is aware of the losses caused to 17 tenants owing to the failure of the Land Commission to construct a sluice gate at Boulakeel Strand, Ballinskelligs, on the Palmer estate, which was inspected by an official of that office in 1945; and, if so, whether he will have immediate steps taken to provide a sluice gate.

Mr. Flynn
A sluice at Boulakeel was repaired by the Land Commission in 1941 and a subsequent proposal to carry out further repairs had to be abandoned as the sluice was found to be damaged beyond repair. The Land Commission are at present considering a proposal to erect a new sluice and gate.
