asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce when the E.S.B. will extend rural electrification to the Ballyferriter-Ventry area in the Corcaguinney Gaeltacht.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Rural Electrification in Ballyferriter-Ventry Area.
I am informed by the E.S.B that the Ballyferriter rural area, which includes Ventry, 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 did not compare favourably with those for other areas awaiting development in the board's Tralee 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 Tralee district.
