Vol. 175 No. 7

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Lowering of Meath River Bed.

16.

asked the Minister for Lands if he is aware that many farmers with land in the valley of Drumlargan adjoining the forest at Summerhill, County Meath, cannot avail themselves of the land reclamation scheme because of the high level of the bed of a small river which runs through the Langford Estate; and if in view of the great loss which these farmers suffer through flooding, he will have steps taken to lower the bed of the river at the few points which cause the damage.

My Department has had no previous complaints about this matter but it will be investigated as soon as possible.
