Vol. 318 No. 3

Written Answers. - River Brosna (Westmeath) Level.

390.

asked the Minister for Finance if he will instruct the Office of Public Works to lower the level of the River Brosna between Mullingar and Cullion, County Westmeath as farmers have been refused land improvement grants because of the high water level of this river.

It is not feasible to carry out the requested lowering as there is no significant fall in the river between Robinstown and Mullingar. The channels of the Brosna drainage scheme in this area will be maintained to the designated depths as required.
