asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce if he will ascertain from the E.S.B. the reason why rural electrification has not yet been extended to the Cashel rural area.
I am informed by the E.S.B. that the Cashel area has been considered for selection by the board for development under the rural electrification scheme but has not so far been selected as its returns have not compared favourably with those of other areas still awaiting development in the board's Limerick district. I am not in a position to state when development of the area is likely to take place.
