asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce if he will state whether the E.S.B. intend to extend rural electrification to the Gaeltacht area of Ballingeary, County Cork, in the near future.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - County Cork: Rural Electrification.
I am informed by the E.S.B. that the Ballingeary area has been considered by the board on a number of occasions 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 Cork No. 2 district. The area will be considered again in the near future but I am not in a position to state when development is likely to take place.
