Higgins asked the Minister for Health and Children if his attention has been drawn to the fact that numerous representations have been made to the Western Health Board over the past 16 months regarding a public health nuisance at Derryvunny, Corrigeenroe, County Roscommon; if his attention has been further drawn to the fact that in a reply to a Dáil Deputy dated 10 December 1996 the Health Board confirmed that water sampling from the area indicated a high level of faecal contamination; if his attention has been further drawn to the fact that, in a reply to Parliamentary Question No. 97 of 8 April 1997 from his Department, the Western Health Board indicated that work to alleviate the problem was expected to be completed shortly; the action, if any, that has been taken in the intervening period; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
