asked the Minister for Lands if he will state the present position in connection with the proposed drainage and reclamation work at Minane Bridge, County Cork.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Drainage and Reclamation Work.
Considerable progress has been made on this project, but I am not yet in a position to say whether or not the work will be undertaken.
Will the Minister be in a position to indicate in the near future where we stand, since there is grave danger of extreme flooding and damage to housing in that area? The Minister is aware that this has gone on for the last 15 or 16 years.
I am not in a position to say definitely yet. I will say that the final decision will take a few months.
It will take a few months?
Yes.
