andMr. P. Hogan (South Tipperary) asked the Minister for Local Government the total expenditure on regional water schemes allowed to Tipperary South Riding Council for the present financial year; and if he will make a statement on the prospects for (1) Dundrum regional water scheme which costs £397,000 (2) Ardfinnan regional water scheme which costs £221,000 (3) Emly regional water scheme which costs £177,000 and (4) Killenaule sewerage scheme which costs £30,000.
