asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce if he will indicate the position relative to the extension of E.S.B. power to the Gorey rural area.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Rural Electrification in Gorey Area.
I am informed by the E.S.B. that the Gorey Hill area, County Wexford, has been considered for selection by the board on a number of occasions, but has not so far been selected as the returns for the area do not compare favourably with those for other areas awaiting development in the board's Waterford district. The area will be reconsidered by the board in due course and the decision of the board will depend on how the returns then compare with those for other areas awaiting development in the Waterford district.
