Vol. 407 No. 1
142 Mr. M. Kitt asked the Minister for Finance if the tributaries of the River Shannon will be included in the Shannon Forum's proposal to carry out a survey; the amount to be spent on the survey of the River Shannon and its tributaries; and if committees such as the River Suck Joint Drainage Committee will get assistance from the allocation.
While I understand that the Shannon Forum have made application to the EC under the sprint programme for finance to provide an information technology based monitoring and control system for the River Shannon, I have no information as to how any such funding, if awarded, might be allocated. I have no plans at this stage to allocate funds for a survey of the Shannon or its tributaries. The provision of funds for the River Suck Joint Drainage Committee is a matter for the county councils of Galway and Roscommon.
