asked the Minister for Local Government if he is aware that 55 council workers have been left off in the Ballymacarbry area, County Waterford; and, if so, whether he is prepared to sanction the scheme for bog development which is at present before his Department so that these men may be re-employed before Christmas.

Any proposal received will be examined as expeditiously as possible, and a decision conveyed to the county council without delay.
