asked the Minister for Finance whether he is aware of the urgent need for carrying out the drainage scheme from the Derreen River at Mr. Andrew Keating's bog at Ballard, Emlaghmore, leading to the main road at Mrs. Johanna Sullivan's house; and, if so, if he is now in a position to allocate a grant for this purpose.
