asked the Minister for Finance when work is likely to commence on the Mulcaire drainage scheme, County Limerick.
With your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, I propose to take Questions Nos. 52 and 53 together.
Engineering and valuation surveys of this catchment area have been completed and work on the design of a scheme is proceeding. When the formal scheme has been completed, it must be exhibited locally and other requirements of the Arterial Drainage Act, 1945, must be complied with. At this stage it is not possible to say when works can be commenced.
